We don't charge a security deposit!

This means a lower cost to book, and because accidents happen, protection against costly charges. Plan terms and conditions provided by request after booking.

We have taken extra precautions to care for our guests and employees by introducing zero contact entry, enhanced cleaning protocols, and strict covering requirements for employees.

We wouldn’t stay here again. While the pictures looked great, here is a list of pros and cons —
Pros:
Great location.
Strong AC.
Very hot water.
Comfortable couch.
Large master bedroom closet.
Cons:
Very loud. Because the building is old, you hear everything going on outside. Including garbage trucks coming into the complex very early in the morning.
Missing pull tabs on all fan/light combos. You will not be able to turn on a light without having a fan going too. The master bedroom fan is extremely squeaky as it is set to high and you cannot adjust it.
Did not have clean linens for the pull out sofa bed.
Was only given one extra blanket.
Washing machine/dryer combo is loud and does not dry clothes all the way, despite leaving it on for 6+ hours. Run it while you are gone, as it’s too loud to watch a movie or sleep with while it’s on.
We had thunderstorms during our stay, and water leaked into a puddle behind the front door.
Cockroaches ran around the kitchen/living room.
Beds move around at night as they are placed directly on cheap vinyl. If they were placed on rugs, they would be very comfortable, but there is not a single rug in the entire unit. The bed frame itself was poorly constructed so some of the posts will bend sideways when you sit down, as they just slide on the floor, scraping it up.
There are flooring pieces missing throughout as it is cheap vinyl stickers basically across the entire unit.
Was only sort clean - gross spills and stains on walls throughout.
Each streaming service on the TV was logged into someone else’s account. Was not clear if it’s the host’s accounts, or previous renters.
I would not stay here again. While the location was great and it was styled very nicely, there were far too many issues with it, regardless of the price. If you want somewhere casual in a decent location for just the necessities, this is it. Don’t have high expectations as you likely won’t enjoy spending extra time here.

Very clean and convenient! Only negatives was the dryer took a really really long time to dry laundry and the chain on the ceiling fan in the living room to turn the light off but keep the fan on is missing. Other than those minor issues great place to stay!

GOOD LOCATION, AND A NICE APT. BUT IT WAS A SAHME THE CLEANER HAD NOT BEEN PRIOR TO US ARRIVING (ONLY TO FIND DIRTY BED LINEN, USED TOWELS, DEBRIS ETC). THE MANAGEMENT COMPANY WERE CHASED TWICE BY US, THE APT WAS CLEANED 3 HOURS LATE. THIS RUINED OUR ONE AND ONLY SATURDAY NIGHT IN AUTIN. WE ASKED FOR COMPENSATION WHICH THEY SAID THEY WOULD CONSIDER -THEN SAID NO. WE FOUND A COCKROACH IN OUR BEDROOM, AND THE BATH DID NOT DRAIN PROPERLY SO WHEN WE SHOWERED WATER BUILT BY OUR FEET. OVERALL WE STILL ENJOYED AUSTIN, BUT I FELT THE MANAGEMET COMPANY IN CHARGE OF THIS APT LET THE TEAM DOWN!

Had a wonderful and cozy stay at this place in Zilker Park with friends for Labor Day weekend. Hosts were very communicative, instructions were clear, and the space was clean and had all we need. Highly recommend!
5.0
I've been to Austin many times and loved staying here. I hope this place is available for my next trip. The place is well decorated, clean, cozy and the private garage is an excellent touch. I felt safe and it was close to many restaurants. I stayed with 4 other girls and one bathroom was a bit hard but not impossible. Definitely better if there are a total of 4 guests. Overall, I highly recommend staying here!

Absolutely terrible
This was by far the worst AirBnB experience I've ever had. First, the place was absolutely filthy. I don't know what cleaning service is being used, but you need to fire them and get a new one. There was dirt and dust in every corner (almost as if it had all be swept there but not fully cleaned up), the baseboards were disgusting, the mirror had water splashes all over it, and there were cobwebs hanging in some of the corners of the ceiling. I didn't feel comfortable taking my shoes off the entire time I was there. The updates that have been made are clearly just for photos, because as soon as you enter you realize they were cheap flips that were done to make the place look 'modern'. Secondly, the back door was completely unlocked when I arrived. I was staying there alone on a business trip and the fact that I have no idea who was able to enter the property before I checked in was absolutely terrifying. Finally, the garage door stopped working during my trip after my car had already been parked in the garage. This caused my car to be unavailable to me for and entire day (roughly 7am to 10pm when it was finally fixed) and I incurred numerous and expensive unexpected costs being force to take ride shares instead - not to mention being greatly inconvenienced by my time having to not only plan and wait for rideshare vehicles but also needing to coordinate with the management team to get it fixed (which was less than ideal and should not have taken until 10pm to resolve). I understand the garage door malfunctioning was not planned or a direct fault of the company, but the way it was handled was lacking and I was not even offered any sort of refund or attempt to make good on the extreme inconvenience this caused. I will never ever recommend this property and highly regret my stay here.

Great Stay!
I really liked this home. The lay out was good and the back yard was so nice to sit out in our mornings. This was walking distance to so many good food stops. Also you can walk to Barton Springs for a day at the park, with a little bit of a hill climb. The unit was clean and beds comfortable.

Pros:
Great location for walking to restaurants and other amenities. Beds are comfortable, decor is uncluttered, furniture seems newer, kitchen was well furnished (although in fairness we didn’t cook). Nice location if traveling with a dog as there is a park across the street and a fenced patio area in back.
Cons:
We had the misfortune of staying when the washer was broken which was a bummer for us. Owner offered to reimburse our laundry costs at the laundromat down the street. There was a small glitch at check-in as the unit wasn’t cleaned yet. There were a few maintenance issues such as peeling walls in the bathroom which tends to go with older buildings.
