Won't Stay Here Again
The property is in a rough neighborhood. It is close to many places, however, you have to pass some scary parts, so walking is not exactly safe. There was a man in a home across the street in his front yard on day one yelling constantly and a woman who was screaming to herself at midnight for 2 nights in a row. When we got there, one of the garage doors would only open halfway. The dishwasher in the back house never worked. The garbage disposal in both houses wouldn't work initially. Thankfully Ronaldo came and got the garage door to work, got us in the back house and reset the switch to get the garbage disposal to work in the front house. The heat in the front house wouldn't come on at first because it had to be synced with the thermostat upstairs within 2 degrees. I have a whole list: Toilets wouldn't flush well 2 Toilet seats broken Water upstairs never got over lukewarm Outdoor games thrown all over the yard Breaker for the dishwasher in guest unit is permanently flipped. They tried to flip it and it would flip back. No can opener no cutting knives in guest unit no trash can is guest master bedroom The coffee pot would not work initially. They did replace it. The lock on the doors were warning of a low battery in both houses. We called and were told it should still have some life left, however the front house app lock eventually wouldn't open and hod to be manually opened. We also were not informed of how the handle on the gate had to be positioned or how to block the code pad until we spoke to Ronaldo, We spent far too much time on the phone with people to fix things. It dug into our time for sightseeing and spending quality time with our family.

Solid all around
The property is very cool. 2 houses with a modern feel. There are a few things here and there that need maintenance or didn't work as one would expect, but for us it wasn't an issue. The team over at Black opal was great. Yen was available by phone all weekend and very helpful. This is definitely a great spot for a weekend hang and very close to the city.

Don't be fooled. Poorly managed disappointing house in bad neighborhood.
Unfortunately, we were VERY disappointed in this property and the Black Opel property management team (specifically Brooks). The property photographs well but don’t be fooled. The house is in an extremely rough area. I’m all about diversity and have an office in Oakland, so believe me when I say it’s a bad area. Groups of girls should absolutely not stay here. This was a “guys reunion trip” of sorts so there was no issue for us, but be prepared for constant drug deals, prostitution, and people sleeping in broken down cars directly on the other side of the gate. Lock up. Upon arrival there were cigarette butts all over the outside area around the “pool” and the trash was overflowing and not taken out. No big deal, we let them know and they resolved it. The property lists a traeger grill so we brought and planned to cook a brisket. The grill is old, rusted out, and completely inoperable and isn’t good enough for hotdogs. The “pool” is a joke (glorified hot tub). The bocce ball court has weeds growing all over it. Only one TV in the main house works. The toilets are extremely low pressure and takes multiple flushes to get it down (if they don’t clog first). There’s also an ant problem (leave anything out and it will be covered). The very first morning we woke up to the AC not working. It was 105 and humid on that day. They sent someone out who admittedly knew nothing and said he would get an HVAC company out asap. We had to leave the house because it was too hot to stay there. I kept checking in throughout the day with Brooks and Back Opel who told me they were on top of things. Around 5pm Brooks called me back and asked ME if I got it working. He gave me the runaround all day and night and at one point even turned his phone off on me. We had to have guys sleep at local friends houses and cram into the smaller house in the back. It pretty much ruined that day/night of the trip. I have everything documented. They finally sent an HVAC guy out the next day to resolve the issue (clogged duct, apparently) and it took until late in the evening to for the house to cool down. So one and a half days with no AC in the main house while getting the runaround by the property owner. It’s hard to enjoy yourself on vacation when you have to constantly follow up with an inept management team. His resolution was a 60% refund for one night, and it took constant pressure to even get that back. I heavily recommend another house.

Awesome spot
Went for a long weekend on a guys trip. Neighborhood is a little worn down but the house is amazing. It’s actually two houses with a very modern concept. We loved exploring Austin but spent a ton of time hanging at the house. Love having the Sonos speakers throughout as well.

Great weekend in Austin
This place was perfect for our group of 13 friends. Location is ideal and a very short Uber/like scooter away from great bars and restaurants. Space was more than enough for all of us to relax and gather comfortably. The dual kitchens are a huge bonus if you’re cooking a large meal. Only issue was that the hot tub was ice cold when we got there but the host was very responsive and quick to help us out. Would stay here again.

Great place to stay in austin
We were 13 guys and there was plenty of space for all of us. Brooks offered us early and late checkout (for a fee) and was willing to accommodate our every need. He was very responsive and the house was comfortable. The neighborhood is sketchy as heck but we didn’t have any issues. A sacrifice worth making for being so close to downtown in a house that size.

Wonderful home for groups
This property is perfect for enjoying time with a group. It’s located near plenty of delicious cafes and eateries and is very close to downtown Austin (but far enough away that you get a great nights sleep). The owner and property manager are super helpful and easy to communicate with. Definitely recommend!
