Gathering of Friends for My 50th

The house was great! We really enjoyed staying at the Lelia. It’s a nice quiet neighborhood, but close to downtown where all the fun happens. We would most definitely stay there again if we were to make a stop in Austin.

Trip to Austin

Good size. Nice location. Need new kitchen floor. Old water damage has caused the wood to warp. Too bad no way to get to deck on roof of the property. View would have been amazing especially at night.

Charming cool house in an adorable hilltop neighborhood. A short walking distance to great hiking trails, markets and restaurants . House is beautifully decorated with interesting art, is very comfortable and had everything we needed. Less than a 10 minute drive to UT campus. Will definitely stay here again.

Perfect rental for a family wedding

My partner and I, his brother and sister, and his niece and her husband were in Austin for his sons’s wedding at Laguna Gloria. The location was terrific for getting to the wedding venue, the rehearsal dinner and other activities we had planned. The property manager was very responsive and easy to get in touch with. All in all it was a great choice and our whole group enjoyed our stay.

Good Experience

Great location, walk-able to parks, restaurants, bike rental. Great space for a large group. The furniture (couches & end-tables), while visually pleasing was not the most comfortable or functional. Not a deal breaker though, as beds were comfortable. Would stay there again.
