Overall would highly recommend and would book again.

Home in Central Austin
4.89 out of 5 average rating, 269 reviewsGorilla House - Backyard Oasis
This was just what we wanted for our stay in Austin for ACL! The place was spacious and clean, exactly as pictured. The backyard especially was wonderful for spending time with our group. The location of our stay was perfect as guests who didn't have a means of getting around other than Uber. Super easy to get rides! Patrick was incredibly responsive and provided us with everything we needed during the duration of our stay. Couldn't recommend this space more:)

Jessica was an excellent host! Very responsive and her AirBnB was exactly as advertised. The hot tub was a lifesaver after long days at ACL. The location is also safe and centrally located to a lot of great local spots. We had a wonderful stay.

Home in Bouldin Creek
4.96 out of 5 average rating, 262 reviewsHill House in Wonderful Bouldin!
Loved our stay! Need restaurant recs? They’ve got them. (El Mercado……omg! Soooo good!) Need things to do? They have them listed out for you. Very helpful and in touch often. We used both Uber and Lyft and both were outstanding and inexpensive with fast pick up times. The home was clean and comfortable. Anything you’d need was at your fingertips. The ice machine was a bonus! Nothing to complain about! I would (and have) recommend staying at this lovely, peaceful home on a hill.

Great place! We came for ACL, so we were looking for a place in walking distance of Zilker Park. Lucy’s place delivered and it was a nice and homey place to land after a long day out in the sun. We will definitely be booking with Lucy next time we come to Austin!

Condo in Downtown Austin
4.88 out of 5 average rating, 216 reviewsSafe & Clean W. 6th condo, Walk Everywhere!
We stayed for a UGA vs Texas football game and it was the perfect spot for us! We walked to everything fun on 6th street and were less than 15 minutes away from campus for all of the football fun. Personal favorite was the cute breakfast cafe steps away on the corner. This was exactly what we needed for our gameday weekend. As mentioned in other reviews, the walls are paper thin, but it wasn't a problem for our visit!
Bungalow in Bouldin Creek

Great house! Perfect location for exploring South Congress and First Streets. Very close to downtown. The backyard is well landscaped and the pool was great after a long day at COTA. Will rent again next time we are in town. Thanks!
Bungalow in Barton Hills

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ excellent Air Bnb! My family and I stayed here for ACL and it is truly a gem of a place. Though we spent very little time at the unit, the tankless water heater came in SO clutch after the extremely dusty festival and the beds were next level comfortable. Emily is an excellent host! The unit is super clean with tons of amenities. We will be back for sure, thank you 🙏🏻

Cabin in Central Austin
4.99 out of 5 average rating, 179 reviewsThe Coffey Grounds Cedar Cabin
Was a great time! Carolyn’s place is such a great choice. The decor is so eclectic and charming. You can definitely tell many hours of love were put into the house. Comfortable beds, a great backyard space, all the amenities we needed were there as well. Communication was a breeze and Carolyn was very accommodating to our group. We had a blast. I would highly recommend staying here!
Guesthouse in Circle C Ranch
5 out of 5 average rating, 158 reviewsCountry Living in Austin (close to everything)
Was our second time staying here and it was great! The host was flexible in accommodating us, and very friendly. The place is like a little home away from home. It’s very quiet and peaceful. We even worked from our laptops there in the morning one of the days. We plan on saving this spot again. It’s pretty easy to get to the main highway 1 and took us 15 min to drive to Zilker. Would recommend!

Ashley's place was sooo perfect for our party of 8 for a bachelorette weekend in Austin. It is just like the pictures and just as described. The pool was perfect and there were lots of extra fun props around for our photo ops. She was very helpful and communicative throughout our stay. I will say this location is a fair drive from the airport and downtown (~20-30min) and Austin unfortunately has alot of traffic. We did rent a car which made trips easier. Ubers are also plentiful. We had a blast here and highly recommend this for any large groups!

Home in East Austin
4.89 out of 5 average rating, 327 reviewsSingle Malt Manor | Downtown Austin
This air BnB is perfect for large groups who are looking for a place that can house everyone comfortably (everyone has their own bed), is close (walking distance or cheap Uber ride if you’re lazy lol) to many great restaurants and bars, and has great amenities at the house for days you decide to stay in (e.g. nice pool with patio and plenty of outside seating, a grill, speaker, etc.). The host was also very responsive and corrected any unintentional issues swiftly (e.g. we discovered the charging cable for the speaker was missing and we couldn’t use it and the host quickly received our message and delivered a new one within an hour or two). Lastly, the host super easy to work with and went out of her way to ensure we had an amazing stay (e.g. the host accommodated our last minute request to check in early which was super helpful considering all of us flew into Austin and the host also periodically checked in on us via text to ensure we always had everything we needed).
Rental unit in Buda
4.98 out of 5 average rating, 194 reviewsFully Private Garage Apartment in Old Town Buda
Jeff & Katie seriously undersold the garage apartment. The moment I walked in, it felt like a well loved, well cared for, well lived in space. A fridge full of fizzy water & a well stocked kitchen, a farmhouse "shabby chic" that seemed utterly unforced and completely genuine. So many things were delightful. They also had excellent recommendations. I only rated the place 5 stars because I can't give it 6!
