8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Oct 2025
The host was very communicative and easy to work with, and the checkout process was smooth and hassle-free. The property is a bit dated, but that was expected given the price range and did not detract from the overall comfort of the stay.
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·May 2025
The property was clean, spacious and had all basic amenities. Our 7 night trip was pain-free. Towels, garbage bags, coffee pods, WIFI, cooking utensils and cutlery were all provided. All communications with the host were expedient and hassle-free. He even came to trim the walkways when we had a rain shower and the bamboo forest grew a few inches (it’s great though—provides the property with a relaxed and secluded feel, and is well maintained) Would definitely stay again and will refer colleagues to this property in the future.

Kirk's property was a perfect house-share for SXSW 2025, with enough space for us to be comfortable (4 of us!), decent food and shopping options nearby, good bus transport links to zip into town, and loads of Ubers to get back and forth to the city, when time was short, and a great location to get back to the Austin airport too! Kirk was a fantastic host, quick and polite with his responses and happy to answer our questions too. Thanks for helping make our Southby'25 a good one! :)
6.0 / 10.0Average·Nov 2023
The location of the house is very close to downtown Austin and so convenient to many travel sites. The neighborhood is interesting and mixed, and house values reflect its location to downtown Austin. A couple of the neighboring houses are being remodeled and are two million-dollar plus houses. According to Zillow this particular property is worth $1 million, however, it is clear that is for the land and not the house.
My wife was distraught when she saw the inside. It was not unclean, but neither was it spick-and-span clean. The bathrooms are very old with limited shelf space. There are two bedrooms and a loft. Our kids stayed up in the loft but whenever they walked it was very noisy downstairs. There is one television in the living room. The kitchen does have pots and pans and is fairly well-equipped.
The house is probably ideal for a group of college aged males who, as a general rule, probably care less about refined living. The rent is reasonable for the size and location, but if you are looking for something classy, tasteful, or elegant, steer clear of this house.
The owner was very helpful in terms of communication. Our family would not stay there again. If I were back in college and planning a trip to Austin with a bunch of guys, this place would be high up on the list.
