This was the perfect place for our visit for the MotoGP races at Circuit of the Americas. 25 minute ride to the racetrack. Six of us stayed very comfortably and we would certainly stay here again. Short ride to Sixth Street and other tourist attractions. Love the sunken bath!

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.

Fantastic experience. Would come back.

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.

Great SXSW house-share 2025!

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! :)

Spacious home with an unbeatable location and a wonderful host!

My group of 7 people came to Austin for ACL and wanted something relatively close to Zilker Park. This place was PERFECT. Not only was it close to Zilker, but it was also walking distance to so many restaurants, bars, and shops. There was enough room in the Airbnb for all of us to sleep comfortably without all being packed in like sardines. The property was so charming too - we loved spending time out on the deck surrounded by greenery. Kirk was a fantastic, accommodating host. Can’t wait to stay here again sometime.

The place is a bit musty - one of my friends had issues with allergies. Location is fantastic. Owner was very communicative and responsive. As someone else mentioned, would not be good for anyone with mobility issues (spiral staircase, bathtubs that require large steps to get into).

Great location, but austere dilapidated conditions

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.

Cute House - Great Location

The house is in a great location. Kirk was easy to work with. With had 3 adult couples and there was plenty of room. The house is a little funky, but the beds were comfortable, the heat and a/c worked great, and the place was clean. There was no outside sitting area to speak of, but we didn't care as we could walk to South Congress St where all the action is.
