We do have to charge an additional $150 fee if you'd like access to the Airstream to cover the cost of cleaning and extra utilities. The listing sites don't let us advertise this well as an add-on, so we've tried to put this information in as many places as possible.

Comfortable bungalow
This property was comfortable for my parents and me. We were in Austin for my mom's hospital stay and follow-up doctor's appointment. The property is all one level and very accessible. The outdoor space is really inviting, and the beds are comfortable. Having items like trash bags, paper towels, and dish soap in the kitchen were very helpful. The location made for an easy drive to the medical center. My only criticism is the bungalow needs to be deep-cleaned (e.g. return air vent is very dusty, leaves & dirt under furniture, crumbs on couches, etc.).

A good stay, but likely won't stay in this area again
PRO: The house was very clean, easy check in/out, communicative Mgmt when needed, comfy beds, good water pressure/heat, well-supplied kitchen, cool outdoor area, good AC/heat, reasonable rules/regs. CON: The East Austin area in general - but especially parts including this neighborhood & street - is still very much being regentrified and has plenty of sketchy spots/houses. We're city people, not paranoid or skittish... but overall, we just didn't feel 100% safe. No knock on this exact rental, but until this area gets a little safer, future visits we'll stay in a different part of Austin and just visit East 6th/7th.

Great setup
Plenty of space with a comfortable layout between the kitchen and living area. We hosted my son and his girlfriend for dinner multiple times during our stay. Austin was experiencing a deep-freeze but we remained cozy and warm without any problems. The grill is actually a chamber smoker. It was not what I expected but I just changed gears with a little help from some hardwood chunks purchased at the local H-E-B and we had some wonderful smoked pork chops. The first night was warm enough to use the fire pit and front patio, the setup was perfect for four to sit around the fire. I will look to rent this place again when I return to Austin.

Great property just needs to be cleaner.
Overall place was great, location, layout, décor really really nice. The property however was not as clean as it should have been. The sofa sleeper had some pretty significant stains on the mattress the area under the sofa sleeper was loaded with dirt, hair, food pretty gross. Took video send it to the contact person for the property only received a "we'll let the cleaning person know".

Great location but some minor issues
We loved the location and size of this VRBO for our stay in Texas! However, we had some minor issues that were frustrating to experience such as wifi/service issues and the check in process. We did not have wifi or service for two days during our trip and our early check in (that we paid a fee for) was not communicated to the cleaning staff. We were already in the home when they came to clean and left a bunch of towels and sheets in the dryer before they left. It added some stressors to a weekend that we didn't need, but overall the property was very nice, had a great central location and was a good size for a group of 5.

Solved the Crisis!
My husband was in Austin to care for his elderly mother (and sister's dog) while sister was traveling. During the record heatwave the A/C quit (for good) in their house. We rented the Oak Grove Bungalow as an escape from the 90+ degrees in the house. Mgt arranged for check-in early next day and took excellent care of them while there. It was an oasis of calm and cool while a whole new A/C system was installed at the house. Beds were comfy, furniture in good shape, well-stocked kitchen, nice area to walk dog. Very much enjoyed this safehaven.

Airstream/Bungolow Stay
It is as advertised, "Bungalow" a bit on the smallish side. The location was good but definitely need a car to get around town. There had been some resent storms so the yard and Air-stream deck was messy and not cleaned up. Kitchen was very well appointed, were able to make meals for 6 or7 people no problem. Nice master bedroom and on suite w/ shower. We paid the extra $150.00 for the Air Stream trailer nice inside but kind of felt a little uneasy in the security department with only one way to lock it from inside, and the neighborhood seemed at times a little uncomfortable. As someone, local it seemed came to our front door and ask us for cash money. And other person came and moved the trash cans out to the curb for pick up and then came and put them back not saying a word to us. Don't know if that was the owner or neighbor or what it just felt odd. Though overall it was very well appointed and nice thoughtful amenities just real nice place to stay.

Host was very fast and helpful with any questions we had. While there we wanted to extend our stay by one day and within a few minutes the stay was extended payment applied to card on file so I didn’t miss out on time with my family making arrangements.

Wonderful Getaway Spot
Booked this last minute for an impromptu family trip that consisted of 6 people and a pet. Booking was super convenient and communication was almost instant. Any minor issues were promptly resolved and the hosts checked in each day to make sure our stay was comfortable. The property itself was WONDERFUL. Ample room for the entire family (child and pet included) and they were able to arrange an early booking last minute (additional charge). Layout/furniture allowed for family/group gathering. House was fully functional and in great condition. Very lovely. We are excited to book the property again on our next trip! They also have an airstream (additional charge) which is so cool in case more room or privacy is needed for the bigger groups! The amenities were as promised, a working bbq pit, fire pit, privacy fence, bikes and location was prime. Plenty of great eating and drinking spots around town. Overall great experience!

Overall, we had a great time - it is a neat property overall and we especially enjoyed the fire pit and airstream! The property manager was incredibly responsive for the few questions we had. One downside is the location - the house sits in a neighborhood with empty lots and boarded up buildings and is not that close to a lot of shops or restaurants or bars.
