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.

Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tim M. Nov 3, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy We stayed here for 3 nights for a wedding at south Congress hotel. The apartment was perfect for a couple. Great location walkable to south Congress and easy access to the rest of the city. We would happily stay here again next time we're in Austin. ##### Tim M.

The accommodations were very clean and comfortable. The location was in a beautiful, quiet neighborhood and yet very convenient (walking distance) from shops and great places to dine. The host was friendly and helpful in making our stay a great experience. ##### Mark D.
