Bachelor Weekend
The house was a cool relief from the unseasonably warm May weather. We spent a lot of time cooling off in the pool and making friends with the sociable neighbors. All seemed friendly and willing to get to know their temporary neighbors. Location for fun nights out in downtown Austin is essential, cheap and readily available Ubers save a lot of time and money

Nice spot, very strict rules
The house was in a quiet location an easy cab ride from the city - also very walkable to plenty of places. There was no option for early check in or late checkout, even though they had no guests coming in the day we left. There are signs everywhere that you will get charged for any small things you do in the space, yet there are doors that don't fully shut and peeling surfaces in the bathroom. It was still clean, but I was on edge most of the time that I was going to get hit with fees for something.

Deceptive but Okay
Well, they have this nice pool picture, giving you the perception it is the pool for this house. The pool is in another yard. Also, you get the house on VRBO, and you have to make another agreement with the management company. This is so aggravating. I ALREADY BOOKED ON VRBO. The management company was awesome so that was a little saving grace. The house was just okay; they advertised like it was some stellar house. Maybe my standards are different when they use the words they use marketing this house. Overall, it was average, and I would stay here with different expectations. It would have had four starts. I just don't like deceptive advertising. Last very open house if you want privacy, like shutting drapes, etc. There are none to close. One TV in only the living room was frustrating for some of the guests I had staying with me, too. They would have liked a TV in their room.

Everything was as described. Everything worked fine. Great location and neighborhood. Art work not our taste. Lighting difficult to control. Couch very low. Beds very good.

Great location, amenities could be improved
House was overall in a great location (provided you had a car) to get around Austin. Picking up on what other reviews mentioned and were not addressed. The lighting was strange, the overhead lighting kept turning on and off and light switches did not match up. The kitchen was fairly well stocked, but we had impression not many people actually cooked meals there. Admittedly, we ate out mostly, but did try to prepare a brunch and had to be creative with kitchen items. Significantly, there was NO wine opener/corkscrew and hairdryer. When we contacted number provided by text to address a house issue, there was no answer EVER. We ended up purchasing both at a local Target but issue had been raised by prior renters so would have been nice to be addressed before we arrived. Bathroom doors offered little privacy as they were vented closet doors so that was also a little odd as well and took some getting used to. It was clean, however, there was also a large amount of black mold on the main bath fabric shower curtain that should have been noticed by cleaners and replaced. Overall home was good, but some TLC could be used to maintain the property.

Great potential!
The location of this home is fabulous in terms of proximity to Austin life. As advertised, it sits right next to another occupied home, but the listing could be improved to more honestly represent the proximity of the owner’s residence. The sliding glass door kitchen are directly facing the 3 carport of the owner. The home was well stocked with towels and pantry staples, but the bath soap was filled with water in all 3 bathrooms, there were no hairdryers and no corkscrew for wine - it would really help to have these essentials in stock. There are very clear and strict instructions to guests on noise and gatherings, which we appreciate and respect, however we were disappointed that the same courtesy wasn’t extended to us as guests. Early Saturday morning landscapers pulled up into the drive, completely blocking the entrance and began loudly shoveling gravel. This continued for 2 hours despite reaching the local host to ask that this be stopped. Scheduling mix-ups occur, but once notified, and for the price of this home, would like to see a more timely response to cease this and free up our ability to access the property. Again, this property has great potential with a few modifications.

Great location, dated property
Property location was great, closely located near to downtown ATX. The property itself is dated & could use an update. The furniture showed a lot of use & the interior of the house smelled not the greatest. The layout of the home is 3 bedrooms & narrow hallways (old style 1960’s wooden home). The doors to the bathrooms were just vented closet doors which was a little odd. The interior lighting kept shorting out in different rooms which was a little annoying. The listing shows a pool but it’s actually shared by 3 properties & is not private & it’s located in the next door yard (just an FYI). If you’re looking for privacy this isn’t the property as most common area windows don’t have blinds & the driveway of the home is utilized by the neighbors (owners & other renters). The other thing that i found odd was the number of release forms, renter information requests they required, it was excessive. Anyways, I don’t want to belittle the property but I do want to give more information that might be helpful to others. If I had to visit ATX again I’d look for something newer & just rent a car if it’s further outside of the downtown.

Thanksgiving with family
The property was lovely and met our needs as a family who collectively cooked and played card/boardgames. The neighborhood was beautiful to walk in and close to downtown.
