We had a great stay for our son’s college graduation. The house is perfectly located for enjoying South Congress, and even though it’s just a block away, the street is quiet and authentic old Austin. Excellent communication and information from the host.
5.0
My family of five and our nanny stayed here for a weekend trip to Austin. The house is perfectly located, one block off South Congress, near the heart of everything and only 5-10 minutes from downtown and 10-15 mins from Lake Austin activities. Chad, the owner, met us when we arrived and the entry and exit was seemless.
The house was clean and amenities were perfect with a nice backyard to hang and for the kids to play. The house is occupied and the owner’s clothes and food are there but several drawers and closet space, in addition to room in the fridge were cleared out for us.
Two minor criticisms: 1) the master bath curtain has some mold and can be replaced. 2) the parking is street parking and like most major cities right now, there is an increase in crime. I was disheartened to see that my car door was open and someone rifled through my stuff (nothing valuable was inside and nothing was taken). I don’t blame the owner or the property for this but it is worth noting so you can plan accordingly.
Overall, it was a good spot

My team was in town for SXSW, our first big trip since the pandemic, so having a cozy home base after all the networking, events, and parties was important. Chad's home was perfectly located close to SoCo restaurants (we never had a bad meal!) and a straight shot to the Convention Center and downtown. We could not have asked for a better place with plenty of space for the three of us.
Whenever we had any issues, Chad was immediately responsive and attentive via text. We'd love to come back again!

We can't say enough about how much we enjoyed our stay at Chad's wonderful home. We were wanting to stay where we could walk to restaurants and shops, and this was the best location in Austin to be able to do that. To our surprise, even though we were only one block away, we heard no noise at all from South Congress, and we were there over New Year's Eve! The house was perfect for our group, comfortable and homey, and was one of the best equipped rentals we've stayed in. Thank you so much, Chad, for sharing your home with us, and thank you for the inviting atmosphere that greeted us when we arrived.

Fantastic home in an amazing location!
The home was comfy, beautiful and super well equipped. Great bed linens and towels. It had all we needed for a fun Austin stay for our group of 5. And the location so close to South Congress but in a quiet neighborhood—just can’t be beat! Chad was very responsive in booking and was right on top of a small question we had on the TV. Really recommend this home and we hope to return!!

Perfect for our stay
House was in great condition and included all the amenities we needed. Chad was communicative and helpful. Went out of his way to make our stay comfortable. House has a wonderful back porch where we spent hours and hours enjoying each others' company. Wonderful location for walking to restaurants and shopping.

Great Location and Host
The location and host are amazing. Chad is easy to communicate with and extremely helpful with his recommendations. The house is very clean and well located; an easy walk to nice spots on South Congress. The suggestions I would have is that the second bathroom needs to be updated soon, along with the mattresses in the second and third bedrooms. Regardless, overall it was a great experience!

Cute, clean house in a great location
Location, location, location. Neighborhood is so fun. House is cute, very clean, as pictured. Host was very accommodating and communication was great. I think it's important for potential renters to be aware that there is no longer a backyard grassy area (at least for time being) and no hammock as pictured. Backyard pics are a bit dated, appears most people have replaced their backyards/garages with a second house, so fewer trees, not quite so secluded. We were out for much of our short stay and this did not interfere; we were still able to use the back porch; however it is helpful to know what to expect when you arrive. Cheers!

Great location!
Chad was very responsive and accommodating, allowing for an early check-in and sharing recommendations for the area. The location can't be beat, as it is right off S. Congress and near downtown. The back deck was a nice bonus space.

Great location
This home is in a wonderful location just a stones throw from June’s and the rest of south congress. The house has plenty of amenities however sometimes I felt like I was being invasive because there are lots personal items in the home. So if you like to pretend your the only one sleeping in the bed, keep that in mind. The beds are comfy, I needed a few more pillows in the master but I was able to take some from the other guest room. The living room was so cozy and inviting. Friday night was torrential rain and we stayed in and plugged in our Roku. Wonderful area, nice home. We would stay again! Austin always has my heart.

Great Place, Great Location
Chad‘s place was perfect for our party of five, with three spacious bedrooms, two pristine baths, A big living room with comfortable seating, a large fully equipped kitchen and even a full dining room.
The location could not have been better, with South Congress a block away with its many restaurants and shops. Downtown is a short distance away, with all the museums and other points of interest easily at hand. The home is beautifully appointed, impeccably clean and superbly maintained.
Highly recommended for those looking for a spacious, quiet retreat within the Austin city limits. Thanks, Chad!

Perfect Weekend for our Family - Super Attentive Host
Really enjoyed our stay as a family. Was a bit last minute Spring Break trip for us and was also the same weekend of South by Southwest (huge music fans gathering) which had us a bit uneasy as we were with our 3 teenage children. All the positive reviews are so deserving. House was perfect, immaculate, and Chad was super attentive - not just to making sure we knew he was available if needed, but the prep in the house with local maps and a Google Earth print out to show exactly how close (walking distance) everything was, took the guess work out of it for us. Note Chad is attentive via text or phone as needed, not coming by or intruding in any way. Can't say enough good things about our stay, we will be back for sure! JP

Austin Gem!
This home was perfect for our recent girls' trip! Well-maintained, clean and spacious. Chad was very responsive and helpful with recommendations and the location was ideal for our stay. So many fun options within walking distance - we highly recommend!
