Wonderful first days for new Austin residents

We had way more than normally expected from an experience of this sort: all the items you normally need when at home like, towels, soap, flour, coffee, sugar, all kitchen utensils, books in the shelves, etc. We certainly had the best of Austin and this helped us through our process of relocation. For the price, this is surely better than many long stay hotels.

Love, Love this house.

I doubt I will ever stay in another hotel. This house has sold me on VRBO and I hope this house is always available when I travel to Austin. Clean, homey and oh so convenient. Thank you Cody for allowing us to stay in your lovely home.

Great Location and Value

Great South Lamar location within walking distance of Broken Spoke, Torchy's Tacos, and much more. And a very short drive or bike ride to downtown, South Congress, Zilker Park, etc. Very comfortable and very well-stocked home, had everything we needed. We did have an issue with the AC the first night but it was just a clogged drain line and was fixed the next morning. I see a guest in June had a similar problem so they might want to have this checked. I would definitely come back on a future visit to Austin.
