This was the perfect spot that I will seek again. I had to spend a big chunk of one day working from "home" and being out on the balcony made it less work more vacay. The market next door has everything. Huge wine section. Made daily grab n go brekky burritos. Found a day backpack perfect for walking. Can walk out the door and find trails to explore all day. The neighborhood is nice, quiet, never heard a peep from any neighbors. Surrounding neighborhood has lots of new custom homes mixed with cute older homes. I felt safe traveling as a solo female. Easy parking. Easy space for Uber to find/pick up.

Groovy
A cozy studio condo turned into a roomy nostalgia trip. Despite the aesthetic nothing felt run down or broken. The location was close enough to get everywhere you needed to go, but far enough away that things felt quiet and safe when it needed to be. Most comfortable mattress I've ever slept on. Would and will definitely book this location again! .

Cool Times on Hot Days
As described, a cool mid-mod vibe and compact place. Comfortable inside, and a shaded, leafy balcony view with extra TV outside. Assigned parking and easy walkability (less than 5 minutes) to Zilker’s historic Barton Springs Municipal Pool, made this a perfect escape on the hottest days of Austin’s summer.

Nice studio condo in an excellent location
We are regular visitors to Austin and this location was probably the best location so far. Two minute walk to Zilker.Close to just about anything else if you like to walk or just a short car ride.The studio was perfect for our needs. Very clean and the communication with Cannon and Misty was excellent. If there was one minor drawback was that you could hear the people above (little kids running around) or people talking through walls next door. It was not an issue, just an observation.Otherwise, it was a great experience and would consider staying again.

Barton Hills
Great little apartment in Barton Hills approx. 45 mins walk to Downtown/Rainey St Grocery shop on the doorstep & easy access to Zilker Park Slightly noisy neighbours and outside space could be cleaner, but great little place to stay on a budget

Wonderful South Austin retreat
This was a great little condo! It was walkable to Zilker Park and Barton Springs, and also to the stretch of restaurants on Barton Springs road (15 minutes). It was very clean and well-designed, with plenty of pillows on the bed for a comfortable stay.

Studio apartment with access to river walk
Basic accommodation with convenient location to Barton Springs and river. Not a fan of foam bed mattress, so didn’t sleep too well. Apartment efficiently organized with Ikea type furniture. The host generally responsive, but never solved the Roku/tv connection. A little more care to maintenance would help out.

Just right...
We stayed at this clean unit recently and really enjoyed the convenient location. Close to Zilker park and not too far from downtown. We had all we needed from a kitchen perspective (sans dishwasher) and the second floor view of downtown was a treat. We would stay at this location again in a heartbeat. The only thing missing we thought would be a good idea was a bath mat. The on-site washer and dryer (located down the stairs and for small fee) worked well, too. Thanks to the owners for offering this little gem.

Perfect location + great communication
This spot was in an absolutely *perfect* location: Barton Springs was footsteps away, and downtown was located minutes out. We enjoyed the view of downtown every morning as we drank coffee on the patio. Any issues we had were swiftly heard and dealt with by Cannon and Misty. Would definitely stay here again!

Perfect Size & Setup
I visited Austin Easter weekend (Fri-Wed) and this place was perfect for me and my 2 adult daughters. It’s quiet but close to the great shopping, walking, dining & fun of Zilker, South Lamar, downtown, SoCo and central Austin. The view at sunrise was awesome on the sunny days. We walked to S. Lamar for meals & coffee. (Patika, Super Thai, Kerbey Lane & Torchy’s were favs). Chuys on Barton Springs was fun too. We liked the vibe of the Deep Eddy and retro decor in the unit. And being on 2nd floor felt safe and quiet. The unit was a good size, needs more bedding options, but the management was quick to provide added linens when asked. Would stay here again on our next trip!!
