This property made our stay in Austin even better. Many thanks to John and Kate for designing a great apartment in walking distance to the SoCo shops and downtown Austin.
We had a great stay with John in his South Congress location. It was so easy to get downtown, whether you walk it, via Lady Bird Lake walkover located right outside of his neighborhood. The apartment was very clean and ready for the unexpected cold weather that we woke up to on our first night. The bed was comfortable. We made breakfast every morning and found street parking every night we were there. The washer and dryer was the very nice to have and made our decision to stay here this trip and our next one. See you next time John
It was a wonderful location, very nice neighborhood only about a 15 minute walk to lots of restaurants and shopping. Very clean. Lots of room. Nice and accommodating hosts.

A wonderful apartment close to the action of South Congress in a beautiful, quiet neighborhood. The owners go above and beyond with a number of small touches to make your stay special. We'll definitely be back next time Austin beckons!
This property is ideally located in a quiet, central neighborhood. The apartment is well-laid out with good amenities. The owners are great communicators and very responsive.
The unit is above a detached garage and is the perfect size for 1-2 people. Laundry is in the garage below the unit. I didnt cook anything on this trip but the kitchen seemed functional. The close proximity to south congress and downtown while feeling like you are in a quiet neighborhood is the best part.
An ideal apartment within walking distance to trails, shops, and restaurants. The owners went out of their way to help out with check in, check out and everything in between. We will definitely return to this lovely property in a quiet, leafy area!
Great location—walkable/bikable to many fun places! This condo was so clean and quiet. The owners are so kind. I was also impressed with how well stocked this condo was! I would highly recommend!
The apartment was perfect for our needs. Kitchen stocked with basics, comfortable seating and bed. Location was ideal, within walking distance to South Congress. Owner was very responsive. The only thing that could improve this property would be more counter space in the bathroom. Would definitely book this place again.
My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the apartment. The location is excellent (approximately a 1/2 mile to South Congress) and the neighborhood is great for those that enjoy walking. The communication with the property manager was excellent! The written instructions within the apartment were very clear and concise. Overall, our experience was great! We’re looking forward to a return visit!
This place had everything we were looking for in a VRBO. The location is great. The apartment is in a quiet neighborhood and just a 10-15 minute walk to S Congress and everything that area has to offer. The apartment was very clean and very comfortable for 2 people. The hosts were very accommodating, allowing us to check in early and check out late without issue. We already told them that we're going to stay here again the next time we come to Austin. Definitely would recommend.
The apartment is above a detached garage and feels very private. The unit was extremely clean and it was easy to communicate with the owners. Its on a quiet street in Travis Heights within easy walking distance of South Congress. Having access to laundry inside the garage just below the unit is super convenient for a longer trip.
Such a wonderful place right off South Congress. I came down for a workshop at the Texas School for the Deaf and it was literally less than a mile away. In the evening I could grab dinner and walk around and shop everything. The place was perfect, sooo cute and clean and the owners were so kind and wonderfully accommodating. Will definitely be returning next time.
Probably my favorite VRBO!! Owners were always available by text. Bright, airy, comfortable, all the conveniences you could ask for! They even had coffee and Splenda!! Very close to South Congress Street and all the dining and shopping options one could ever ask for. Definitely recommend !!! I would give 100 stars if I could!!
My husband and I had the best time staying at the Travis Heights apartment. Kate and John had thought of everything guests might need during their stay. Check in and out were seamless, the hosts were present if needed but respected our space. The location was amazing. My husband and I walked to South Congress countless times for coffee, dinner, drinks, music and shopping and the house was also right across from the Town Lake trail for easy access to run. Street parking was plentiful and our car was safe. We will definitely stay again, super comfortable bed and very nice use of space!
Discovered the meaning of SOCO (South Congress) staying in this terrific cozy rental. Met all our needs, including walking up and down steps to this garage apt. entrance. Great for exercise! The owners were super, John taking time to greet us on the first day from his semi-detached house front lawn.Located in a lovely, quiet historic neighborhood, a very short drive to bustling S. Congress. All our drives in the city were 15-20 min… to the museums, Capital bldg, restaurants. Not caught in any traffic gridlock from this location. Highly recommend unless you have difficult climbing a climbing a flight of stairs.
