About Judy Walsh

My husband Dennis and I have stayed in VRBOs for many years and so I have a good sense of what guests need and want for a comfortable and enjoyable stay.

We absolutely love the live music scene in Austin, and the youthful, spontaneous nature of urban living. We are avid bikers and spend a lot of time exploring the bike trails and paths around town. Everything we do is within a few mile radius of our home, including our vacation rental. That means we can make sure everything is in top shape for our guests, and respond quickly should any problems arise.

Judy Walsh purchased this townhome in 2012
Why Judy Walsh chose Austin

What a great location! Nestled in the quiet Travis Heights neighborhood just blocks away from a vibrant happening area of Austin, River City Flats are the perfect size for comfort and functionality, and luxurious enough without a lot of fuss.

You also can't beat the convenience of bus and taxi to explore all of downtown Austin, and getting to and from the airport.

South Congress is a neighborhood located on South Congress Avenue in Austin. It is also a nationally-known shopping and cultural district famous for its many eclectic small retailers, restaurants, music and art venues and, more recently, food trucks.

South Congress begins at the Colorado River and Ann W. Richards Congress Avenue Bridge and runs due south towards Ben White Boulevard/TX-71. The area is bordered by two historic South Austin neighborhoods: Travis Heights to the east and Bouldin Creek to the west. River City Flats is located in the heart of Travis Heights

Since its humble beginnings in the 1850s, South Congress Avenue has been transformed from a rural country road to the capital city gateway and, finally, to the vibrant shopping district that it is today. Many Austinites attribute its enduring popularity to the magnificent and unobstructed view of the Texas State Capitol, convenience to cultural events at Auditorium Shores and Zilker Park, performing arts at the Long Center, ACL Live, and Zachary Scott Theater.

Absolutely Stunning!

5 of 5
Submitted: May 2, 2013 Stayed: April 2013
I've only ever stayed in hotels when visiting Austin, but I have a feeling that's going to change now. This place was absolutely beautiful--so much so that I think I could live there forever and be perfectly happy. The deco was fresh and clean and the condo was surrounded by beautiful trees. I didn't want to leave. It's also very close to downtown and the Soco area, which was nice! Plus, free parking!

Judy was an absolute delight and very helpful with my many questions. Thank you so much for the great place! I hope to visit again soon!!

Immaculate Unit In Great Location

5 of 5
Submitted: March 7, 2013 Stayed: January 2013
This newly-renovated unit is beautifully kept, and is situated within easy walking distance of a collection of great shops, restaurants, and clubs on South Congress. The owner was patient in answering various questions as we began to look seriously at staying here, and she was extremely prompt in addressing a couple of very minor issues that arose during our stay. Our deposit was returned quickly after our departure. All in all, we were extremely pleased, and would stay here again if we were to return to Austin.

Our Visit to Austin as the Second Guests of "River City Flats"

My husband, our Austin residing son and I stayed in the "River City Flats" for four days. We prepared and cooked our Thanksgiving meal and found the kitchen filled with all necessary utensils, pots and pans that made it very easy. We loved the location for a great foodie experience...lots of choices very close by. The beds were extremely comfortable...an important item on our list. The unit was clean, just renovated and well supplied. We would definitely put this property on the top of our list when we next visit Austin.

Great, Cozy place in one of Austin's Best Neighborhoods

We had the pleasure of spending a weekend in "River City Flats" with some out of town friends. It was very recently remodeled and the owner indicated that we were the first guests since the remodel. This is a very nice 2-level town home - the kitchen and living areas (and a half-bath) are on the main level and the 2 bedrooms and full bath are downstairs.

The kitchen is well stocked (I've never seen such an extensive set of knives in any place we've stayed!). There is a nice coffee maker, smallish refrigerator, stove and beautiful granite countertops. (Owner doesn't supply coffee, so you'll need to bring your own.) No worries, if you forget something, there are plenty of grocery stores nearby! Off the kitchen is a nice balcony where my wife and I enjoyed coffee while the sun came up.

We live in Austin – and Travis Heights is probably our favorite ‘hood. It’s eclectic, eccentric, with so much to do. South Congress (SoCo) is an easy walk away – with all the great local stores and restaurants. Just one mile further north is the famous 6th street area with all the live music that makes Austin famous! If walking a mile isn’t your thing, there are plenty of cabs and buses.

Bottom line – if you are looking for a place to stay and you want to be in a quiet area that’s close to the action in Austin, then you won’t go wrong staying here!
