    This was a really charming place! Loved the character of the house. Old and historical. As a keys player, the piano was a lovely touch.All in all, a solid stay. Our only downsides were low water pressure and the kitchen/dining room gets way cooler than the living room on the other side of the stairwell. Old houses can be strange! Beds were comfy. Big open kitchen and massive dining room table were good. The pool area is gorgeous. Great location.

    So spacious with multiple areas for our large group to hang out and also spread out when needed. Clean, well maintained, and beautifully decorated. The pool/BBQ area was fun and adorable! Good air conditioning. Very few responsibilities when checking out. Responsive hosts when needed. Very minor concerns: Low water pressure. No early check-ins or check outs, which is difficult when traveling from out of state and not having vehicles to hold our bags (not their fault, but be sure to plan accordingly).

    The house was magnificent! The pool was so nice to have to relax in after a day of shopping downtown. The location is perfect and not far from the airport!

    This place was amazing! Not only historical but gave such an Austin vibe! The layout is great with 3 “dens” that had tvs and places for guest to unwind and not on top of each other. We had a large group and everyone had a room and our single teenage/young adults niece and nephews bunked in the rooms with two beds. Spacious bathrooms for several to get ready in at same time. 2 upstairs and 3 downstairs. We used Feti vans to pickup and drop off getting around the city. Very close to campus maybe 3 min drive. Beautiful views of downtown sitting out by poop. Catered tacos from Cabo Bobs and set up outside around the pool. Kitchen is small but functional. Served breakfast for 14 and had all the things needed to cook. Would recommend for gatherings or family needing to be close to campus or downtown.

    We had so much hanging out by the pool! The house was perfect for a large group, there was lots of living rooms and fridges! One of our toilets wasn’t working, I texted the team and they had someone over to fix it within the hour! Very impressed with the service. The house is on a very busy street so it is loud outside, make sure to bring your own speaker for outside by the pool. Also if you are ordering food delivery or Ubers make sure to specify it is the house with the neon b&b sign since the hotel next door has the exact same address. I would absolutely stay here again. We had so much space and it was an easy walk to cool restaurants and shops!

    Our group of book club buddies enjoyed our visit to Austin and the Governor's mansion was a great location for our stay, spacious and comfortable. It was a great place to gather and enjoy each other's company. Our one issue was the low water pressure in the upstairs bathrooms. Overall we had a wonderful visit.
