Attractive house close to great restaurants

Our family visit to Austin was made more enjoyable by having a clean, welcoming place to stay. The neighborhood was quiet and safe and easy walking distance to the busy South Congress area. Having 4 bathrooms was definitely a plus for 10 guests. The house could use a little maintenance on the shower stalls but it was manageable. The property manager was very responsive and courteous.

Great Location

The house was great and as described. It was perfectly situated within walking distance of South Congress and a quick Uber ride to downtown Austin. 4 couples and 4 bedrooms and everyone was happy. We had a couple of mechanical issues and Walker Luxury Rentals was quick to take care of all.

Almost fabulous

With as many people as we had and with various ages, we needed to use the screened in porch every day. It was so dirty that two of us had to sweep, dust and take the cushions out to beat the dirt out of them. There were ants and two people were bit. Otherwise the home was clean inside.

Thanksgiving Stay

Overall, the house & location were great. The hospitality & responsiveness of the property management company was quick & efficient. We really enjoyed our stay & would rent this property again. The house was very nice but not sure I would call it "luxury". There were a few small details that may need to be addressed. There are many different light switches & it's confusing at first. Would be great if they were labeled. There is really nowhere to put luggage in the bedrooms so it would be nice to have luggage racks in each of them. The furniture cushions in the screened porch area are old & tired. It was not comfortable to sit for any length of time. The sink in the upstairs guest bath isn't big enough to even wash your face in which was strange. The kitchen isn't well stocked if you are cooking a big meal but I'm sure most guests don't do that. It would be nice to have more than 2 barstools for such a big bar area. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and again, the location & the property management team were 5 star.

Family Time

Our family enjoyed our stay. The house was nice and clean. Good outside area to barbecue. There were a couple of unfortunate things we experienced. First off the microwave had a short in it and did not work very well. We were not able to warm up any food through the evening. They did replace it the next day but we were done cooking by the time it arrived. Also the TV on the porch area did not work. They were not able to repair it and it was the only other TV in the house so it was a bit of an inconvenience to our group. They stated they would get back with us after discussing a way to compensate for lack of these things that were advertised but we never received a response. All in all the property was nice. Maybe would have chosen another property had we known they were only going to have one TV for our large party and per the house rules could not be outside past 10:00 pm.

Quiet neighborhood and very pleasant easy access home. Great to walk to restaurants and shops on Congress. Yes, the management company / VRBO should disclose that the home next door is under construction. However, the construction noise was minimal and workers unobtrusive and respectful.
