We enjoyed our stay. Location can’t be beat, a block from all the major restaurants but somehow also a quiet street. House was cleaned and Chad very communicative. Backyard and back patio is nice!

Lovely Austin house
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.

Perfectly-Located Haven
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!

Great stay!
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.
