Wow! 11 out of 10. This was a perfectly wonderful place to stay while enjoying a fun weekend with family in Austin! We are three fifty-something year old siblings and a seventy-something year old father who came to Austin to visit family who live closer to downtown. This beautiful, newly renovated large house in a quiet neighborhood was perfect for us.
I was initially nervous to reserve this property because it is a relatively new listing and didn’t have any reviews (and we recently had a horrendous experience at an unrelated stay in another city). Gwen was quick in all of her communication and assured me that her home would be well cleaned and she was 100% correct. Communication was superb. Entry directions were clear. Safety and privacy are great. The home is beautiful and contains lots of local-style décor. It is located in a very convenient location to enjoy the fun city of Austin. Our family that lives here drove us around so we can’t speak to how convenient it would be to rideshare around town.
As soon as we entered the home, we could smell how sparkly clean it was. The beds are super comfortable and the sheets/comforters were all very comfortable and high end. We loved the arcade games (I learned that my husband and his sister have a very competitive Galaga history). The bathrooms were fresh and clean and stocked with plenty of very nice towels. They even had drawers filled with items that travelers might forget such as toothbrushes, q-tips, and cotton balls. The layout of the house is perfect to accommodate families so that some people can go to bed earlier and others can play games and hang out in the living areas.
These hosts did a thoroughly thoughtful job of considering all of the things that make a vacation home comfortable and made it a very fun weekend for our family to enjoy! We would definitely stay here the next time we visit Austin and highly recommend this property!
