Best Accommodations in Austin Yet!!

5 of 5
Submitted: March 26, 2013 Stayed: March 2013
I've stayed in Austin several times over the years and I have to say that this was my best visit yet, due in large part to staying at the Sola Lodge this time around. The photos online were nicely representative of the space; it was extremely well furnished and very clean. The kitchen and baths had everything we needed. The price was reasonable. The location was in proximity to downtown and Zilker Park/Barton Springs and there were plenty of nice restaurants within walking distance. Connie was available and courteously responsive to us during the rental process AND during our few days in town. She couldn't have been nicer or more professional. I would highly recommend this property and will not hesitate to stay in this or any other property owned by Connie during my next visit. Thanks so much for helping make our visit to Austin unforgettable!!

The Sola Lodge was perfect for our group. We enjoy the outdoors, and could sit outside in the back patio under the umbrella. The BBQ grill was great. We enjoyed walking to the many shops and cafes as well. Found a fun bead shop too just around the corner. Cute area! We'll be back.

Owner's Response: The Zilker Neighborhood is quite charming with many cafes, pubs, music and quaint shops of all kinds within a 1 mile radius. Most you can walk to. Glad you found the Saxon and One to One Bar. There is also the Black Sheep Lodge and a Pizza place moments away. The infamous country-western dance place, The Broken Spoke is just down SoLa, or South Lamar. The Sola area is booming with so many shops, cafes and interesting clothes. And over at Restaurant Row on Barton Springs Blvd. is an entire array of great restaurants including Chuy's, the mexican food place everyone must try when they are in Austin. The Saxon Pub always has great music, and there are quite a few coffee shops close by. Around the corner is a wonderful wine and desert place, across the street amazing Italian food, and down the street Kerby Lane Cafe which is open 24 hours and is amazing! Staying at the Sola Lodge gives you close access to many wonderful places while staying in a very nice, upscale neighborhood close to Barton Springs Pool, where you can find the Zilker Train. This is where the Austin City Limits Fest is held. I think its most people's favorite neighborhood in Austin!

The Sola Lodge was clean, comfortable and a great location - nice houses, wonderful cafes and shops close by. enjoyed to 'walk to' environment. Wish we could have stayed longer. Took the bus to downtown for the festivities. Was easy. Enjoyed Austin.

Owner's Response: Glad you enjoyed the neighborhood. It's wonderful with many great shops and cafes close by. The quaint neighborhood is on the edge of downtown and next to SoLa or South Lamar, which gives my SoLa Lodge guests walking access to multiple eateries including Italian, Japanese, Mexican, a 24 hour diner (Kerby Lane) and close proximity to great live music. Downtown is about 1.5 miles away. Many people jump on the bus and ride to the entertainment district of 6th street. And on the other end of the Kinney Ave. is the restaurant row with BBQ, Mexican, Juice Bar, Flipnotics Coffee Shop and so much more. What a great area. Barton Springs Pool is also close by with a constant 68 degrees even in the summer. This pool is also adjacent to the hike and bike trails which go on for miles and miles bordering the Barton Creek. Quite a magical area. Glad you stayed and thank you for your rental!

Clean House in a opping area

Submitted: March 5, 2013 Stayed: February 2013
This house was clean and the advertisement was spot on with pictures etc. The only downfall for me was the nightlife noise and the nearby train tracks. The train came by nearly every hour at night and you could hear bar noise close by. Perfect for city dwellers who are not light sleepers. Unfortunately that is not me. Other than the noise this place was great.

Owner's Response: I'm glad you enjoyed the house. Yes, it is in an urban neighborhood, and your sister also reviewed the house in the review above. Seems like the train may have bothered you a bit. They are on the verge of making that railroad crossing silent...though for most folks, no complaints about it.

It is a beautiful neighborhood, and yes urban. That's what makes it great! It's a nice neighborhood street walking distance to the action.

If any of my guests are concerned about train noise, I can supply a white noise machine or fans. Just let me know!

Everything was great, BUT the train

The house was clean, in a location near shops and restaurants. I found Connie great to work with. She represented this property accuratly. The only issue that we had was with a train that is about two hundred yards away. The trains came by pretty regularly but other then that, the house was great! I am sure ear plugs would have fixed the problem.
Recommended for:  Sightseeing, Families with Young Children
Owner's Response: I'm glad you enjoyed the house. It is close to an urban walking area which is what is charming and wonderful about it. Walk everywhere! You are the first to comment on the train and I've had the property for 3 years as a vacation rental. Don't believe it bothers most folks and its actually about 3 blocks away, not 200 yards.

It's an upscale neighborhood, and the train is charming for most. The neighborhood is wonderful as many guests have shared.

We were four guys on a golf trip and rented the house for four days and couldn't have been happier with our selection. The house was clean and comfortable and was centrally located for our needs. We spent our days on the golf course and our evenings at the downtown bars. The house was an easy $8 cab ride from the 4th/6th street bars. It was also nice having a cool coffee hangout (Opa) a short walk away. I would definitely consider renting again on a return trip to Austin.

This house had everything we needed and wanted for a great stay in Austin. The location is great, walk to local eats, drinks, supplies (airstream sandwich shop accross the street, great bar around the corner, coffee two blocks away in the morning, CVS accross the street). Also, just about a 5 min cab ride from most Austin destinations and the cab will be at your door in less than 5 min. The house is super clean with everything you need and has plenty of space to relax and enjoy your stay. The owner was also very helpful!
