Location was not what we were lead to believe by the listing. Too far to walk to the lake in the heat.

Nice house in a beautiful neighborhood close to downtown.

We had a wonderful stay at this house! The rooms were clean and spacious and comfortable. The neighborhood was lovely and very walkable. Our host was responsive. Would definitely stay here again with family or friends. The hot tub was a great added bonus!

House is located less than a mile from trails along Lady Bird Johnson Lake. We enjoyed the morning walks.

We enjoyed our long weekend at this home, but found that there were a couple of discrepancies in the property description vs reality. The home is a find in that each bedroom has its own bathroom. The kitchen and dining areas are useful and spacious. The living room is as expected, but the furniture is not comfortable for sitting and chatting. We would have spent more time outside, but the outside furniture was quite dirty and in disrepair. We chose this place because we didn’t rent a car and it advertises “walk to fun” in the heading. The minimum walk to any services is a mile, which isn’t practical in Texas heat, or unless you are someone who likes a lot of exercise on top of any activity you may want to do while on vacation. We Uber’ed everywhere, and I wouldn’t classify this home as “near downtown”. The “king” bed in one of the rooms downstairs is really two singles pushed together with footboards (not as long as a regular king bed). It is listed in the description as a king/two singles so I suppose we should have caught that, but be aware that if you are tall, your feet will hit the footboards. Paula was an average host – good communication before our arrival and clear boundaries and rules. There wasn’t enough toilet paper in the house, though, which was a hassle. There was no soap or shampoo, either, but it was listed in the amenities. Two of the showers didn't drain correctly - there was at least an inch of water on the floor by the end of the shower.

This property is a hidden gem. I've lived here 36 years, but had never been in this neighborhood. The interior is spacious, with comfortable bedrooms. The owner was conscientious and responsive to some minor needs during the stay. A group of friends from across North America thoroughly enjoyed the stay.

I had my Bachelor Weekend in Austin in scorching July weather (104 or above every day). There were 5 of us total and the house was everything I hoped it would be. Everyone pretty much had their own areas (and bathrooms!) so after a day or night on the town it was super comforting to come back to this spacious and really hip home. Everything worked well. We put the temperature down in the hot tub to make it a cool plunge pool which is really the move in temperatures like we had, We were out on the town most of the time, and found this location to be perfect. It's close to everything (including the airport) but sits in a beautiful quiet neighborhood, so when we needed to relax it was very peaceful. The space had excellent energy--everyone remarked on it. The kitchen is vast and well equipped, which we utilized for making late night Texas toast sandwiches from our Franklin's BBQ leftovers. But more than anything else, it was Paula as such a thoughtful and responsive host that made this trip excellent. She is quick to respond to any questions, gives lots of good suggestions, and has this whole system figured out really well. Check in and check out was a breeze, and there was just a sense the entire time if there was ever an issues (and we didn't have any) you had someone who was just a message away who was there to help. We had a very special weekend here and would come back in a heartbeat.

Paula was an excellent host. Her home is clean and well equipped. This listing was an excellent place to stay for a weekend in Austin with friends.
