    Exceptional accommodations near South Congress and Zilker Park. The beds and linens were super comfortable with room for 6 teens and 6 adults. We loved the outdoor deck and used the gas grill for dinner. A serene setting under the beautiful live oak trees in the heart of Austin!

    Great location and neighborhood. Really easy check in. Great yard with firepit / outdoor table area to hang out. Photos make it seem quite large; it felt much more cramped in person. One bedroom is on main floor across from living room (not much privacy). Other bedroom is on 2nd floor but there is no door to the room.

    Our group stayed at The Stanley and we really enjoyed the location! We could walk to shops and restaurants. Plus there was plenty of space for 8 to gather and communication with the host was great. However, as we got further into our stay there were several cleanliness issues. One perk of this rental is plenty of dishes! But many had food caked on them in the cabinets. Along with utensils that were sticky and in the drawer. Several appliances have seen better days and don't work properly. We were looking forward to using the pool because it was HOT.. But it had not been cleaned out and the water was really stagnate. So we skipped it all together. A couple of friends stayed in the guest house which is on the rustic side and had mold on the shower walls. Overall the property is nice, but the house needs a bit of TLC for the price point.
