Great property and location!

The Olive You was pretty close to perfect for our two week stay in Austin. Things we loved: 1. Large comfy couch, 2. Cute patio set in the yard so we could eat breakfast outside, 3. Plenty of closet and cabinet space so we didn't have to live out of our suitcases. 4. The location! So great. I think it was like a 15 or 20 minute walk to South Congress. And the neighborhood was nice and felt safe. There's a cute park nearby. Overall we really loved staying there! Things that could have been better: 1.) As other reviewers mentioned, the main bed is wayyyyy too soft. We were sinking into the memory foam so deeply that we were sleeping terribly and waking up with back pain. After a few days we switched to the other bed even though it was small. 2.) The yard could really use some string lights. The single patio light didn't provide enough light for the yard to be useful past 5:30pm, which was a shame because we wanted to cook dinner and eat outside since the weather was so nice. The part of the yard that extended to each side of the house wasn't lit at all so it was pitch black. A large fox startled the hell out of me haha. A few sets of string lights would make this yard so much lovelier. If those two things were changed we'd absolutely stay here again. :-)

The simplicity of the rental - extremely clean, well-stocked kitchen, all essentials provided.

Beds are low to ground, too soft and incredibly uncomfortable. Not much in way of household utensils in the kitchen. The booking process was odd. I booked on VRBO and then my ID and credit card statement showing billing was requested by rental company within 24 hours and then I received 28 texts from the rental agency requesting this information. VRBO is just a middle man for this group. This felt like a scam to get my information and just put things off to a bad start. VRBO was zero help in resolving this. If I canceled I would lose 1/2 my payment. I wish VRBO and agency would have clearly stated this is being handled through another company and not VRBO in the listing description. Area is safe, unit was clean, beds uncomfortable and few kitchen utensils.
