STOP SCROLLING. THIS IS IT! JUST BOOK THIS PLACE!!!
The "Governors Mansion" is PERFECT home base in Austin! I am an Airbnb Superhost with my 4 of my own airbnb properties in Scottsdale AZ, and I can say without hesitation that this one is a FANTASTIC quality home with an efficient and responsive mgmt company. We had an overall fabulous experience. The area felt very safe (we were a group of 35-40 year old women). It's about 10-12 minute drive to Rainey Street, plenty of Ubers nearby, and there's even private parking right out front if you have your transportation.
This home is so great. The decor is indigenous and trendy. The Kitchen is well stocked and the large farmhouse table got a lot of use. The layout is fantastic for a bigger group. The house is broken up into three separate "suites", each with private bedrooms and bathrooms and it's own communal seating/lounge area. Then another area with the kitchen/dining room and another bedroom/bathroom. The beds were comfy, the linens are clean, and there were plenty of towels, black make-up towels and pool towels. We spent most of the time we were at the house in the swimming pool which was the perfect temp for daytime or nighttime swimming in June. The bistro lights and funky tile out front are adorable and make a perfect backdrop for group pics. Can't say enough positive things about this home. We actually booked another Airbnb back in December for this June trip, however, when we arrived to that location, there was a cease and desist letter on the front of the airbnb shutting down the airbnb!! We scrambled to find somewhere else for our group of 10 to stay last minute - by some grace of God, this house amazing house was still available and Renters Club SAVED THE DAY! You won't regret staying here! BOOK IT!!
