Our group loved staying at Doug's house on Mockingbird Lane and really appreciated how friendly, communicative, and accommodating Doug was throughout the process. The house has been recently updated and was very comfortable. I was pleasantly surprised by how spacious the house is. While we only stayed one night, I will likely rent the place again when I have a group, as there is plenty of living space, large bedrooms, and a great porch & backyard.
The location is slightly south of downtown but in a trendy West Congress neighborhood that captures a true spirit of Austin - with eclectic homes, breweries, and food trucks within walking distance. We also were just a short ride away from everything we wanted to explore in Austin that wasn't within walking distance. I don't recall taking an Uber ride that was longer than 5 - 10 minutes. We looked at homes in other neighborhoods... but the Mockingbird house proved to be the right decision due to the comfort, value, location, and accessibility to authentic Austin. I highly recommend Doug's place and will look to rent it again in the future.
