This house exceeded my expectations. The house was in a great location, very walkable, with a gorgeous view of downtown. The house itself was modern, functional, and full of the little touches you love to see in a VRBO (baskets of throw blankets, board games, a well stocked kitchen).
I didn’t reach out to the host during the stay, but they were very communicative prior to check in.
I would highly recommend this property.
We loved the house! From day one, we were so comfortable and enjoyed everything it had to offer. The living room is the ideal place to have a glass of wine and catch up. Everyone had their private space in the well-appointed bedrooms. The kitchen has all the amenities needed to create anything from a basic snack to spectacular meals. We ate out most nights but did cook up some really great breakfasts before we ventured out for yoga, hiking, shopping, breweries, restaurants, and live music (and more!).
The weather was so-so, and it was nice to get back to this house, which felt like a sanctuary. It doesn't hurt that it is right around the corner from Terry Black's BBQ and El Alma... Don't hesitate to book this gem.
Side note - our group had 2 cars and they fit in the (very steep) driveway. It may even fit a 3rd if that is important to your group.
The communal living area in this house was fabulous. The kitchen, living room and dining room are all open concept creating a perfect gathering spot. The piece de resistance though was the large glass wall in the back with spectacular views of downtown Austin. The elevated deck just beyond the glass was another wonderful spot for gathering.
We had 7 family members staying there. You can sleep more, but as in all Austin rentals, there are a couple of bedrooms that are less ideal. One with no windows in the lower level that shares the primary bath and one with pocket doors off the kitchen. But both are still beautifully furnished with comfortable beds. The primary bedroom and bath are huge and dreamy.
The location of the house is fantastic. The house sits on a quiet residential street with pretty houses tucked behind businesses. We walked to a wonderful coffee shop called Carpenter each morning and there is a delicious BBQ spot, Terry Blacks, right around the corner. It seemed all our events were less than a mile away.
We would highly recommend this rental. If we come back, we’d stay there again.
Spacious, stylish and comfortable home in the heart of Austin
We all loved this house! Our group was 12 friends and family and it was perfect with lots of room to move around and in a fantastic location in walking distance to Terry Blacks and El Alma, two of Austin’s most delicious restaurants! Lady Bird Lake is also in walking distance. The house is comfortable, well appointed and stylish with a gorgeous view from the large back deck. We particularly liked the huge combined living room, dining room and open kitchen which made it easy for us all to spend time together. The kitchen is great for cooking with everything we needed. The beds are very comfortable. The airconditioner worked great during the Texas summer heat. We had a problem with the ice machine and WLVR had bags of ice brought to us the same day, which we really appreciated. It’s really the perfect place for a group in the heart of Austin.
Things to note that aren’t clear on the listing: one bedroom downstairs is windowless (but nice and dark and with a big comfortable bed) and another is right off the kitchen, which is potentially loud for someone trying to sleep while others are in the kitchen or living room. There is only one street parking permit for the whole house and the unusually steep driveway only works for one car, which means if you have more than two cars, someone will have to park farther away as street requires a parking permit.
This house was had the best bedroom layout for couples going on a trip to Austin. Everyone has their separate rooms and then can gather in the huge living/kitchen area. Tons of sitting and great outdoor patio. We explored all of Austin and loved this location. Thank you!
We had not traveled in months and were leary of hotels, but the Daniel House was just what we needed. Excellent location, art work is out of this world., spacious and fully equipped. Loved the visit. Will be back soon!!
Our group from all over North America got together for a great weekend. We even had a few friends stay at a near by hotel.
It’s close to the park and river activities and a scooter or uber to downtown. After smelling the BBQ in the backyard we had to cater dinner one night from Terry Black’s BBQ.
This property was perfect for a quick weekend girls trip. Plenty of space in the living room area for lounging with guests. The living room leads to the outdoor deck which has views of downtown Austin. The master bedroom was spacious and the bathroom was huge! The house was updated with very comfortable beds, new kitchen appliances, and a large wine cooler! Highly recommend staying here for a girls trip or with a few couples!
The house is very well-maintained, has a great vibe and is in a great part of Austin. Be prepared for the management company to gather info on all adult guests (cell phone, email address, DOB, etc.) and for a cleaning crew to come every morning (around 9am) with a card that says if you don’t let them in, you’ll be charged an extra $100/day.
