Right off of congress near lots of great food and shopping. 10 out of 10 experience for the proximity to ACL as well! All around great stay ##### Christopher Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Alycia C. Jun 18, 2021 Liked: Location Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### Very filthy property This VRBO is in very poor condition and the pictures are not representative of the property at all. There are many large stains in the carpet and badly stained and ripped furniture. The whole place was very unsanitary. The kitchen had food spills and the sink doesn’t drain well. There isn’t a single live plant in the house unlike the plush plants shown in the listing. In fact, the place was so filthy, we could not stay at the property with 2 infants and the host refused to remedy the situation or refund. I would not recommend staying at this property. ##### Alycia C. Stayed 6 nights in Jun 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bradley R. Oct 23, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Can't wait to return Everything (location, cleanliness, accommodations) was better than described. Adam was super helpful, gracious, and accommodating. I wish we could have stayed longer but we are looking forward to returning soon. Thank-you! ##### Bradley R. Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Reed W. Oct 21, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great Location and Attentive Owner Property is a nice 2 bedroom / 1 bath with parking for 2 vehicles. Close to popular area near downtown with many places within walking distance. Property owner was very helpful and attentive if there were any issues needed to be addressed. Great experience over a long weekend. ##### Reed W.
