** Please note that this community and its buildings are built in the 1990's and therefore might exhibit signs of interior and exterior wear, outdated aesthetics, awkward floor plan layouts, and other quirks and features common in older properties. The units themselves have been renovated to bring them to modern aesthetic standards but at the end of the day the buildings themselves are still older. All of our properties are decorated and furnished with the latest in interior design and available furniture, and we do our best to implement modern living solutions even when the property itself might be showing its age.

The Neighborhood:
South 1st Street, is one of the trendiest and liveliest communities in Austin and located right below Downtown Austin and adjacent to SoCo (South Congress). Strip malls, small businesses, and loyal natives boasting a no-frills attitude fill the spaces in between the greenery and residential areas. Guests can enjoy a scenic view of Lady Bird Lake and the city beyond while taking a walk along The Boardwalk. The neighborhood is home to many cheap trendy eateries and coffee shops. Visit hotspots like Summer Moon Coffee, Cosmic Coffee + Beer Garden, one of the trendy unique places that offer specialty coffee, local beers, craft cocktails & live music along with food trucks all in one area!

Getting Around:
We recommend that guests rent a car during your stay in Austin as many of Austin’s best attractions and fun things to do are scattered around the city and much more convenient when accessed by car. While there are certainly public transportation options such as buses and individual transportation options such as scooters/bikes/mopeds, these options are mainly convenient and readily available around the downtown Austin area and quickly becomes sparse even a couple miles outside of city center. Rideshare apps such as Uber and Lyft are also great options but expenses can quickly add up as Austin rideshare rates are on the higher end and can surge very high during busy times, such as 2AM on weekends and during large events such as SXSW, conferences, F1, etc.

★ Other Things to Note ★

- We would love to welcome guests who book our apartment the same day of their arrival, but please be aware that your check-in may be a bit delayed (to as late as 7 pm) as we rush to prepare the unit for your arrival. Guests who book more than 24 hours in advance will be able to check-in by 4 pm.
- We provide all of our guests a starter kit of consumables such as toilet paper, paper towels, laundry pods, dishwasher pods, etc. Guests can purchase any additional consumables from nearby grocery stores that you think you might need during your stay beyond what's included in the starter kit.
- The apartment complex may run maintenance or clean other shared amenities as they see fit at any time. Please be aware.
- Please be aware that Texas is known for having all sorts of bugs and creatures, especially during the summer, that wander around and can sometimes get into the home. Bugs and creatures such as silverfish, earwigs, cockroaches/waterbugs, scorpions, spiders, wasps, mosquitoes, flies, snails, moths, ants, etc. are all very common in Texas and the South in general, and might show up in the home from time-to-time. The presence of a few of these critters does not indicate any sort of infestation in the home, as usually it's just the critters trying to escape the blistering heat or the freezing cold like everyone else.
- For longer term stays over 30 days, guests are required to pay for monthly full-home cleaning services at $65/clean. This requirement cannot be waived and must be paid prior to each monthly cleaning service.

Unfortunately one of the worst VRBO's we've stayed in
We booked this apartment for its location as we love visiting Austin and love the South Congress area. Unfortunately, this place is not all it seemed to be from the listing. First of all the booking process is a pain, takes you to a confusing third party website and won't let you cancel once you are there. The pictures and description online do not do the actual apartment justice. The location is decent for Austin, but that's about it. The moment we walked in I could tell it wasn't very clean, the carpets are very, very worn and dirty looking, and not well vacuumed. They really need to invest in new sheets, they were "white" but off white with how many times they have been washed, and there was no top sheet. The bathtub/ shower had been painted at some point and it was peeling off and dirty, it also did not drain. There is a washer and dryer, but when I opened the washer it smelled so bad of mildew. It looks like at one time the apartment was nice, but now has had too much wear and tear and needs to be updated and cleaned better. Definitely not worth the price.

Great spot minutes from Downtown
This place was great but could improve a bit. The Good: Location was great for us. Only a few minutes from all the action The general updates were good. Bed was super comfy. It fit us (family of 4 + small dog) very well. Small kitchen perfect for quick meals Dog Park great! Communication with host was great! Very responsive and informative. The Bad: Tub was in bad shape. Functionally OK, but peeling with some mold and needs a resurfacing. Water gets really hot really fast (not bad, just a warning) The entire space felt "damp". An exhaust fan in the bath room or dehumidifier would solve that problem. Seating was uncomfortable. Very basic Ikea stuff. Gets the job done, but not ideal. Fold-out bed was uncomfortable (OK for kids sleeping sideways) Its a "downstairs" unit in that you're taking stairs to get to your space (not bad, but just a warning) Complex was covered in pollen, so you'll be tracking that into your car (just a warning based on season) Overall, it was a great space. Location and price made it all worth it!
