Weekend getaway
Came to Austin for a UT football weekend with my husband and a friend. This cottage was perfect. Comfortable, clean and in an amazing location. One block off of South Congress shopping and restaurants. You also get a covered parking spot in front of the house in a neighborhood where it’s so hard to find parking. Five minute drive from the lake and downtown; 10 minute drive to campus. We would definitely stay here again! Thanks for the lovely accommodations and welcome snacks. A very nice touch!

Perfect Location and cute house
My teen daughter and I enjoyed staying in a very lovely neighborhood just back off South Congress in complete peace and quiet. There was everything you needed in the kitchen, extra sheets and a great bed in one room and a pretty good but springy bed in the other. Convenient smart TVs and a great patio with deck for my yoga mat in the morning. Parking was a bit too tight for two SUVs under the covered roof so the other apartment car ended up parking by the garbage pails which is OK. Love this place!

Best for the Film Festival
We were there for the Austin Film Festival. The location of this VRBO is perfect - about a block from the main street leading up to Austin's downtown. Immediately around the VRBO, there is food and fun everywhere - and some amazing shopping at small shops. Brief Uber to downtown Austin just across the river. Manager was easy to reach, extremely willing and responsive to any and all concerns (tho there were almost none on our part). We would stay here again.

Great location
Close to everything but also quiet. We walked everywhere and had a lot of fun. A few things that would have made our stay perfect... 1) bottled water. A case of water would have gone a long way since we could not drink or cook with tap water due to the City Wide Boil notice. 2). Things a normal hotel would provide: shower soap, Kleenex, enough coffee for 1 pot 3) an extra trash bag - for all the water bottles.
