The house is great -- perfect layout and lots of space for everyone and excellent location. And Brendan was always available for questions with immediately kind and helpful replies and solutions. Very impressive!! The pool was less inviting than pictured as it had a cleaning device floating in it and the hot tub was only hot if we planned several hours in advance. But overall, I highly recommend the house and yard and lovely central neighborhood. This was a perfect place to host our family for a wedding weekend!

Comfortable Convenience in Austin

If you have a larger group looking to stay in Austin, I couldn't recommend this house more! The location is exceptional between easy highway access, easy downtown travel and walkability. The house itself is kept ideally, and all rooms & common spaces were comfortable and well suited for our group of 13. Thank you to Brendan & Aurora for a great host for our celebration!

Wonderful location and fantastic house for large groups.

We had a fantastic stay for 13 adult males. The house was big, easily slept us comfortably, and the back yard provides tons of activities. The location is perfect for Austin as it’s only a mile from the nightlife. The host is extremely responsive and goes out of his way to make you feel comfortable and enjoy the house. The sound system was also a big hit. I would recommend this house to any large group.

Great place, great location!

We had a wonderful stay. Brendan and Aurora were fantastic hosts and available for anything we needed. We attended that SXSW EDU conference so it was an easy Uber to the convention center, but a nice ways a way from the bustle of downtown. Lots of great food and coffee walkable from the house. Highly recommend!

Thank you so much to these great hosts for a wonderful stay for my extended family in Austin. The house was perfectly set up for all of our guests and we really appreciated all of the details - from the great outdoor space, new pool, and well appointed kitchen. It was the perfect setting for our thanksgiving reunion. Friendly and communicative hosts was a cherry on top. Highly recommend!

Doesn’t get any better!

I stayed with a group of 12 friends for a football game at UT. Our accommodations could not have been more perfect. The house was beautiful and very spacious. The backyard was perfect for spending the evening outdoors and the brand new pool and spa was such a nice surprise. The kitchen was very well equipped for a large group. Brendan was very welcoming and responded to any questions we had within minutes. The location is perfect with food trucks just around the block and the walk to the UT stadium was a short 20 minute walk. I would recommend this house to anyone and would definitely stay here again if we ever find ourselves back in Austin… GO DAWGS!!
