Amazing time at the Zen Den! Its location is incredible, just a block off congress but still super quiet. Love the neighborhood, the house is very home-y and was so comfortable. I stayed alone but the house could easily host 2 people or even 2 couples. Hoping to return to Austin soon, will definitely check this house first to see if it’s available when I do!

Can't wait to return

Everything (location, cleanliness, accommodations) was better than described. Adam was super helpful, gracious, and accommodating. I wish we could have stayed longer but we are looking forward to returning soon. Thank-you!

Great Location and Attentive Owner

Property is a nice 2 bedroom / 1 bath with parking for 2 vehicles. Close to popular area near downtown with many places within walking distance. Property owner was very helpful and attentive if there were any issues needed to be addressed. Great experience over a long weekend.

Very filthy property

This VRBO is in very poor condition and the pictures are not representative of the property at all. There are many large stains in the carpet and badly stained and ripped furniture. The whole place was very unsanitary. The kitchen had food spills and the sink doesn’t drain well. There isn’t a single live plant in the house unlike the plush plants shown in the listing. In fact, the place was so filthy, we could not stay at the property with 2 infants and the host refused to remedy the situation or refund. I would not recommend staying at this property.
