Great place for the family!

We stayed here for a family weekend getaway, and it was a great home away from home. Everything was very clean, and the host was great with communication. The beds were spacious and comfortable, and the rooms have fans, which is a big plus for me!! I'm so glad we opted for this instead of a hotel!

Great place

This place was exactly as advertised. The beds were very comfortable and it was close to the concert venue with plenty of food options close by. Mike was great and constantly checking with us to see if we needed anything but made sure to give us plenty of privacy. We even got into town a little early and he was happy to accommodate letting us check in. We would definitely stay again.

Quiet place in upcoming East Austin

My husband and I, with our 17 yr old daughter, enjoyed Sven's castle for a one night stay. The host was accommodating and easy to communicate with. The place was clean and the beds fairly comfortable. Location is close to the airport but very quiet. Easy to get to downtown Austin. Perfect for a short stay.

Clean, reasonably priced house, short drive to downtown.

Unit was very clean. Communication with Mike was great - he is very responsive to any questions or needs. House is just 10 minutes to Lady Bird Lake, and just 20 minutes to the center of downtown. Beds were comfortable. Full size fridge, plus a microwave. Large TVs in every room, with Netflix. Driveway parking. We enjoyed our family weekend in Austin.
