Checked all our boxes
We were pleasantly surprised on arrival that the unit was just what we needed and wanted for our 4 night stay Tastefully furnished, well equipped kitchen and split bedrooms each with a bath made our stay very comfortable. The neighborhood was on the upscale side and very convenient for our itinerary

Austin Stay
The house worked out well for myself, my parents, and our two dogs. Sally was good with communicating about minor issues we had. The house could use some updating (pillows were pretty worn out, etc.) but was still a good stay for us. We were driving into downtown to see my sister each day and it was only about a 10-15 minute drive, even with traffic. Lots of shops and restaurants within five minutes of the house. Overall would recommend for 2-4 people.

Clean, comfortable, convenient location
Nice condo. In southern Austin. Comfortable beds. Kitchen frying pans were very poor quality and they need to be replaced. Clean. Great backyard view of a creek.

Great place to stay!
Stayed for two months as I was relocating to the area and waiting for new house to be ready. Lucky to be a 10 min drive to work, with plenty of amenities locally like coffee shop, groceries and food places. Quiet neighborhood with friendly people. Did not have a doggie door as one review mentioned, but is dog friendly and my puppy enjoyed the fenced in yard down the steps. Everything you need to cook and live at though you are at home, owner is responsive to questions and needs. Would stay here again.

Comfortable duplex minutes from downtown but in a quiet neighborhood
We enjoyed our month's stay in this South Austin duplex. The rooms are spacious, the bed comfortable and the kitchen well equipped if you feel like cooking. With all the great restaurants in Austin, our cooking was limited to mostly breakfast. The back decks look over a small creek so it's very quiet and peaceful to enjoy a drink or grill after a day of sightseeing or hiking. The location is convenient to shopping, downtown, hike/bike trail and expressways. Everything we wanted was within 10-15 minutes. Sally was very helpful, communicated check in info and provided additional information about shopping and restaurants --especially, the excellent Radio Coffee. The television is a smart tv so if you have Netflix, Amazon or Hulu you will have plenty of video entertainment --if not, it's local channels. Austin has a multitude of things to do and we enjoyed spending a month away from Chicago cold at this very nice place. We would definitely return.

Property is not the same as reviews
Only one TV, which did not have cable and did not have good reception. Beds are not queen size. Reviews are for a totally different property. Location is in a subdivision, need to drive everywhere. Owners would not give access code until we were two hours from destination. VRBO sent instructions for different property. Pictures are deceiving - place is much smaller than in pictures. Very clean and well stocked with paper products, soap, etc.
