Excellent location. Clean, easy to access & good parking. Coffee machine and coffee provided, and when rang and asked for more coffee, delivered very quickly with a smile and was complementary- nice touch! Washing machine and tumble dryer in apartment- didn't use in the end but felt these were a great addition. Would use again when next back in Austin.

Never found pool -wasn't clear where it was from apartment, but would have had a hard time fitting a swim in our schedule anyway. Wifi was bit intermittent in how well it worked but had own phone data to hotspot so not an issue for us.

Great location with many awesome restaurants and bars nearby. Free Parking! This is unbelievable in Austin as parking is sometimes up to 60 dollars a night. Walking distance to a lot on SOCO, but you can take an uber or quick scooter over the bridge to Downtown. Probably one of the only places I've traveled to that had plenty of pillows and towels too.

Very loud upstairs neighbors, walk like they are horses, not really in the control of the owners here, but when you are told to respect a quiet time you would think it would be honored by the tenets of the building. Parking is a bit confusing but not bad,

A little hard to find on the property (or at least after a 30 hour journey with a 16 hour time change) but once you're past that hurdle the apartment is sizeable for the price. Pool open to short term residents and parking dead easy even with a larger vehicle. Very short walk from good coffee (Jo's), Continental Club and the rest of the SoCo classic spots.

Pool closes a little early for hot nights. Getting in and out with a bicycle not super easy. Kitchen could do with one or two more basics.

Great location in lively area of Austin. Spacious accommodation. Excellent facilites ... large bathroom, closet and laundry room. As only 2 night stay it was great to have small amount of household supplies to use. Enjoyed use of the swimming pool too.

My only criticism is the layout of the apartment complex is a bit confusing and it would be useful for clients to be sent a plan of the complex. And/or have a copy of the layout in the apartment. The block I was in was very close to the entry gates which was fortunate with luggage.

The location was incredible. It was right in the heart of SoCo and you can walk to so many great shops and restaurants. It was also only 15 minutes from the airport which made our early morning flight a little less daunting. The bed was nice and big. The decor and vibe were amazing. I felt very at home.

They did not give me the code to the pool, so I couldn't get in. The air conditioner was kind of loud. Also, the apartment echoed a lot and you could hear everything throughout the apartment.

We had a problem with the parking, we forgot to place to parking pass and we got towed. The pass was too big and we put it down during our day and that day when we arrive to the apartment we forgot to place it again and got towed. Our suggestion is to have a tag to hang it in the mirror instead of that huge card

Location was great, close to everything & within walking distance of shops & restaurants. Pool was gorgeous! Kitchen well supplied.

No lock on door between bathroom & bedroom. No blanket for couch bed. Not enough toilet paper, dishwasher pods, or laundry soap for my family of six for our four night stay.

A beautiful spacious apartment, we were very impressed and had a great stay!

The only downside was a long walk to the pool which wasn’t so great coming back in the heat.
