City-View Austin Penthouse on West 6th Street Near Restaurants & Parks - Dogs OK

close to shops and restaurants, quiet, great view, space

Lots of places to eat within walking distance. Good views in the top deck and a unique layout.

This property is in great location with lots of restaurants, bars, town lake trail and Whole Foods all with in a few minutes walk. However, the condo is on the third level and once inside there are 3 floors. Be ready to do lots of stairs and sloped walking to the street. If not in good shape this property will be quite difficult. It is pet friendly, which was nice, but there is no grass for your pet in property. You have to cross a busy intersection or walk behind property in neighborhood. We also experienced many issues with the unit that included: light not working in primary closet, plumbing fixtures difficult to operate, slow hot water, loose front door knob, dirty patio furniture, toilet not flushing, ants in kitchen and extremely dirty floors and rugs. The 2nd floor bedroom has a separate AC unit and it does not cool the space effectively. Be aware construction is heavy next door, where a building is being built with early morning loud noises, building shaking throughout the day and lots of banging and people screaming at times. Unfortunately, this was one of the worst homes we have stayed in over the years. The local manager was super helpful and communicative but couldn’t help overcome some of the issues. I appreciated his concerns and help.I would not recommend this property to anyone while construction is on going. If the owners fix the annoying issues, it would be a great location near downtown Austin. The neighborhood is beautiful and condo has great views.

Wonderful long weekend with family visiting Austin.

Really great view, get those legs in shape for the stairs! Overall, perfect stay, would definitely come back and rebook!

Everything was abive expectations.Fantastic stay.

My friends and I attend ACL every year, always on the lookout for a quality property within walking distance of Zilker Park. This house was very unique with multiple floors, the master and guest bedrooms on the first two. The living area had a stocked kitchen with floor to ceiling windows showcasing amazing views of downtown Austin. Each floor had a balcony which was unexpected. There were plenty of bathrooms as well which is a must for our group. Overall one of the best properties we’ve stayed in. We’re hoping to book it for the festival next year!

Great location. I know some of the reviews warned about the stairs but there are a lot. Amazing view.

The condo is probably 3 decades old and needs to be refurbished. The views of downtown Austin are amazing, especially from the terrace. But note that there are many, many stairs to get up to the condo and to move around within it.

We had a great stay. Mgmt was very good at response times when we needed something. You should be aware that there are lots of stairs at this property, both to access the front door and to get to the living area once inside. Anyone with any limitations should take that into consideration.

The unit is cute and was laid out perfectly for our group's needs. We loved the space and balconies. However, the 2nd bedroom is stuffy with air conditioning issues. It is obviously a known problem because the room has a portable air conditioning unit. Unfortunately, it did not help to keep the room cool. The air conditioning for the main bedroom also went out on our last night. There is a sign that says not to set the unit below 65º or it will freeze up. We had it set at 71º, so that was not the problem. Because we did not discover that it was broken until late in the evening (11ish) and we were leaving early the next morning, we chose to email the property manager instead of calling. We also emailed about a lost earring the next morning after we checked out. Neither has been acknowledged, and it's been 24 hours since we checked out. If the unit is owned by an individual, I hope they know the management company is falling short.
