So many options to consider while relaxing on the sofa or having a cup of coffee in the dining area to include reading a good book, streaming a show on the 75” TV, listening to the Sonos music system, or enjoying the views through the floor to ceiling windows. While the optimal guest count is 4-6 guests, the unit has the ability to flex up and host 12-13 guests.

Please make sure guest count is correct. If you are planning an event- let’s discuss. A few reasons why spending a little extra to stay in the heart of Austin and avoid horrific hours waiting in traffic / hunting for parking. We strongly advise taking the 15 minute uber from the airport. Valet parking is available but pricey and street parking is difficult to find… truth told - there is little need for a car. You are steps away from Austin's best nightlife and more than 30 restaurants, town lake & nearby museums. Brunch, lunch, dinner are literally a few steps away along with a small but plentiful grocery store should you choose to stay in and test your chef skills. It’s a 3-5 minute walk on Rainey street or alongside the lake and you will arrive Van Zandt / 4 seasons for a great brunch or speakeasy cocktail. Planning or hosting an event??? Let’s talk about what your needs / goals are and find a pricing package that makes sense. Event Weekend Discounts UT Football - 4 nights $6500 ACL - 4 Nights - $7500 SXSW - 14 Days - $35,000 or ($2800/night). SXSW Event space (90 people $10,000)

Great location, great views, weird check-in process, and unresponsive host with bedroom issue. We chose this listing because it was a 3 bedroom. 3 bedrooms are clearly listed, however "bedroom 1" in the listing details does not exist. The 3rd bedroom is actually a murphy bed in the common area, no privacy and extremely bright with all the windows. Our 3rd party ended up leaving and getting a hotel room so he could get some sleep. When we asked about "bedroom 1" the host referred us to a layout picture in the listing and ignored the fact its widely advertised as a 3 bedroom. When we asked for a discount since our guest left to get a hotel room we received no response.

There is another review from last February that describes the check-in process with the hidden key… that is accurate. I did not find any directions on what to do for checking out… which was in line with the limited information provided for checking in. We were supposed to get an email the day before and we got nothing… which caused us to reach out to the owner the morning of our arrival, the phone number didn’t work, so then we had to follow up with the Vrbo customer service. The views are excellent…the place needs some repairs. We just left the keys on the table inside the apt… because we had to catch a flight and I didn’t feel comfortable putting the key back in the emergency exit stairwell. Communication and description needs some improvement. We stayed one night- my sister loved it and we were celebrating her birthday. But overall for the price, it definitely needs more attention to detail and a better check in system.

Great location. Only two bedrooms w a murphy bed in general open area and a bunch of roll outs if needed. One walk in shower. Other is a tub / shower. Very clean. High end accommodation. Nicely decorated. Quick uber to the strip on 6 th. Or walk it. This place is Not on Rainey Street. It is One block over.
Good bars and cheap eats if you want to try many taco truck and other trucks nearby. Lots of high rise construction right here. Sorry the original neighborhood vibe is going high- rise! We enjoyed this place very much despite 4 days of gray weather and some drizzle rain.

Very nice spacious suite with an amazing view of downtown and the west Austin hills. Only wish there was a key code for the door instead of having to do a key exchange.

Surprisingly quiet, very clean, great new appliances. Beautiful views. Not sure why the address is incorrect upon check in, that was a bit of an issue as we had several people checking in at different times. Otherwise, love the fitness space, pool, and yoga space.

This property delivered on every aspect. The description of the property and pictures perfectly reflected the penthouse. Our party of nine was very comfortable and had plenty of room. It was evident that the owner has put a lot of thought into making sure guests have what they need. The extra fold out beds offered for guests were the most comfortable we’ve ever slept on. The big table in the kitchen, plenty of room in the living room, and very comfortable outdoor couch on the balcony made for great spaces to hang with friends. The location one block from Rainey St provided easy access to everything downtown and allowed us to walk right out of the building and walk Town Lake instantly. The views from the balcony were absolutely gorgeous, and were a great way to share the beautiful city of Austin with out of town guests. We experienced excellent communication with the property manager/owner. He was available at all times and genuinely wants guests to have a great experience. The valet parking amenity offered was extremely convenient and valet staff were incredibly friendly. I would highly recommend this property and will also consider renting it again in the future.

check in process… the address given to you is not of this unit and you had to text the owner for checking in as it was never provided. the whole process is strange as he gives you the address and tells you to bypass management, to a location of a hidden key (he will send you a video) and that key is not secured in any way… anyone has access to it or can find it. You then get the keys of the unit which are tracked meaning you are tracked by a Tile.
Unit over all is nice, def not meant for the number of people indicated you will trip over each other with all the cots and no room to walk! It is not a three bedroom unit, but two with a murphy bed in the living space tucked in the corner.
Rules are listed everywhere as if you are all ready going to break something…. Do not expect any amenities…Decor is nice.
The building is all short term rental so be prepared for drunken people knocking on doors.
We were there Thurs - Sunday and the power went out, he didn’t have anything to say or help… and we are on a high floor of the building....
Checking out, we did as the rules said, throw towels in and put the keys back where they all were…
Tues- he sends nasty messages about us ripping blinds off the wall and charges us fees for this… Mind you we checked out Sun and the key is in a very public location. We also asked for proof as he had two sets of blinds and one was not fully installed.
No proof…
Take a pass on this nice unit all bc of the owner

The views from this condo are absolutely spectacular--water views with the entire city as well. The condo is within walking distance of everything on Rainey Street, but it still stays quiet in the unit. This condo is located in a great building with all the amenities--gym, dog walk, coffee shop in lobby, beautiful common spaces.

I recommend the apartment. I do not recommend the host. The property manager (Dallas) was unprofessional and unpleasant to deal with. He is representative of a larger problem with online short term rentals and Austin vacation rentals. Greedy real-estate investors from california have no problem gentrifying the city and then making its own inhabitants feel unwelcome. They don’t posses the experience or aptitude to be in the hospitality business. He should find a profesional to manage the place for him. Check-in was sloppy. Communication was rude. These are vital parts of the vacation rental business. It is important to be accommodating to guests. Honestly Dallas, I wag my finger and shake my head. You should be ashamed of yourself. As an Austinite and a host myself, I invite you to sell your holdings in this city and find another line of work.

Fantastic view! Walkable to great food and Rainey St. action. Comfy beds, plenty of seating and space to hang out, full sized fridge, roof top pool, and yoga in the building. Could use a couple more mirrors/outlets for multiple people to get ready at once, but good option to stay together rather than in multiple hotel rooms.
5.0
Fantastic view from a new, high-end property. The sunsets were amazing each night! Spacious unit with solid furnishings. The host was very responsive.
Primary disappointments were some confusion as to how many “enclosed” sleeping spaces there actually were (only two bedrooms — the third primary space is a murphy bed out in the open main room — and the fact that some of the motorized shades weren’t functioning properly.
But overall, a great choice that I’ll definitely be looking to book again on my next trip to Austin.

There were 6 of us in Austin for a real estate convention. This was an awesome spot. It is steps from Rainey and less than a mile from the convention center. The condo looked just like the photos except the view is even prettier! Would stay again.

Wow. If you're looking for the perfect place to stay in Austin, look no further! This penthouse was as advertised and then some. Right off the bat, Dallas was an exceptionally accommodating and communicative host. The space was immaculate. You'll be hard pressed to find a better view of the city from the balcony and through the floor to ceiling windows. The building is legitimately around the corner from Rainey Street and walking/scootering distance to virtually anything you could need. The building has an awesome rooftop pool and fitness center as well. I stayed for three days with six total people for my bachelor party and it was the most extraordinary weekend, in large part because of how fabulous this penthouse is. BOOK IT WHILE YOU CAN!!!

Dallas has set up a wonderful luxury Penthouse Suite for a small gathering. It gave our family of seven the perfect gathering place for UT graduation - we walked to Veracruz All Natural for breakfast, Terry Black’s for lunch, a quick dip in Barton Springs with live band playing…everything is so close! The rooftop is beautiful and the staff on the property is very friendly. Parking was $40 a night valet for in and out as often as you like - not bad considering how hard it is to find a spot downtown. Dallas was extremely responsive and helpful. We enjoyed every minute and would come back in a heartbeat.
