Located in South Austin, this lively and eclectic neighborhood is known for its unique blend of creativity and culture. The area boasts a diverse range of attractions, including the famous South Congress Avenue (SoCo), where locals and visitors can find an array of boutique shops, art galleries, music venues, and a wide variety of dining options.

With a mix of historic charm and modern flair, the neighborhood attracts a youthful and artistic crowd, providing a vibrant urban experience. Overall, this part of Austin is a hotspot for anyone seeking to explore the heart and soul of the city's distinctive culture and lifestyle.

Excellent(51 Reviews)4.1
Overall the property and stay was great for a family on a budget, just what we were looking for. It’s within walking distance of Barton Springs and a very safe neighborhood. The view is great, but way more stairs than I anticipated to get to the house. Also parking is included which was a plus.
4.1
Excellent communication and very easy check in process. Everything we needed. Needs a little updating and based on location in the complex it tends to be a little dark, but worked out really well for our trip. Glad we found this place.

Technically does sleep 8 but it’s a very tight fit.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property. We had a problem with the upstairs toilet, but reported it, and it was resolved very quickly! We enjoyed the location as we found good food and parks and gardens very close by. We would definitely stay here again!

The house was perfect for us. Would definitely stay again. Great location with easy access to Zilker Park, downtown, and south congress areas.

hi there- I shared extensive feedback through airbnb that was to be visible to the owner only. Did you receive that?
4.1
I love how the place had multiple beds in one room! Very smart! Very clean and spacious! I wish it did have two showers though!
4.1
It was such a beautiful and comfortable stay. The location was also amazing.
4.1
Loved the space the condo felt like it was isolated even though it was part of a larger complex in a bigger city which was great. Zilker park almost right below you and only 10 minutes to most of downtown. Super great - would totally stay again!
4.1
Overall my trip was good. I had no major issues and was comfortable the whole time. Booking with Jon was easy and he was very responsive to any questions I had, and he made sure to check in with me during the stay. Some comments on the representation of the apartment: + The Airbnb posting says 4 beds and sleeps 8. In reality: there are 2 bedrooms total, 1 king bed each. There's a day bed with a pull-out mattress in one of the bedrooms that already has a king bed. Not ideal for more than 3-4 people, I would say, definitely not if you're looking for privacy. + Some things did not look the same as the luxurious posted pictures... carpets, window shades, parts of bathroom and kitchen were a bit dingier than the photos show. The area is not sunny, and is actually part of an apartment complex, so there's mostly shade. These things didn't really affect my trip - I was very happy with the hosts, and ended up with only 2 guests at the house. Just posting this for those people booking for larger groups.

This apartment was perfect for our family of 6. Easy walk to hike & bike trail, Barton Springs, and a short drive to other parts of central Austin. The kitchen & bathrooms were well supplied. I hope to stay again on future trips.

We can for a scouting visit to see if Austin is a place we could live with our two kids and this place is so centrally located, it can’t be beat! Thanks for the hospitality!!
4.1
We enjoyed the deck outside the master bedroom.
4.1
We had a great time staying at this house for our trip to Austin City Limits! It was such a quick and easy walk to the park. Although the place did not go above and beyond or exceed our expectations, it was just what we needed for the weekend. Spacious and easy parking was a plus.
4.1
Great location! Wonderful space!
4.1
I would definitely stay there again, not far from downtown or other attractions in the city
4.1
The owners are very accommodating and responsive. They will not show up unannounced and will check up on you to make sure your stay is as comfortable as possible. We had 0 issues and it felt like a second home. Book now!
4.1
We enjoyed our visit. Good location for all the wedding festivities and enjoying Barton Springs and Zilker park.
4.1
This location was fantastic. It's very close to Zilker Park and a cheap Uber/Lyft to the downtown area. The key pad lock made check in and out very convenient, and there was plenty of communication in advance of our arrival. The house itself left quite a bit to be desired. It has a very strong musty odor. I thought once the AC had been running for a few hours that it would clear up, but it was intense throughout the entire stay. There were ants in the upstairs bathroom. There is a portable AC unit in one of the upstairs bedrooms, and it had completely soaked the carpet through. I did alert management to this, and they advised to turn it off and they'd reach out to maintenance. I was never contacted again about it. The furniture is heavily stained, and most corners of floors, counters, and windows have dirt/dust buildup on them. The house needs a deep cleaning, a coat of paint, and some upgrades to the ventilation.
4.1
Property owners/managers have failed to send a receipt for my stay after several requests. VRBO says they cannot help because Austin Vacay uses their own system.
Queen Bed in second bedroom was broken upon arrival, and uncomfortable to sleep in.
Unit has a musty smell, and foul odor from kitchen sink
Ants crawling around in bathroom
Unit much darker than appears in pictures.
Otherwise property clean. Walkable to Zilker park and Barton Springs pool.
4.1
The rental was canceled because lack of water and heat (temperature 15oF). Renter did not answered the phone. VRBO agent was very helpful and found a hotel.
