The staff was friendly and the place is in a great location. Unfortinately we could not rest properly because the mattress was in such a bad condition, and there was a lamp right in front of the room which the blinds didn't properly cover. Also, we found a few roaches
The property was beautiful, room had everything I could possibly need for a quick trip. The only issue was a loud beeping noise from the hallway that kept me up most of the night. Even with that, I would stay here again.

Great location
I had a pleasant stay; it was within walking distance of everything. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Although the construction was an eyesore, it will look amazing once completed.
Great location, clean accommodations and superb staff. I wasn’t sure what to expect for the rate we were getting but I was pleasantly surprised.

Nice but a few changes are needed
Let me start by saying that the hotel was located in a perfect spot as far as getting to all the fun areas such as sixth Street and Congress Avenue. That in itself is worth the money. It appears that they are transitioning from residential apartments to full-time hotel. They haven’t really gotten the hotel part down 100%. There was no Maid Service and they didn’t give enough supplies such as toilet paper, cleaning supplies, and paper towels. We loved the fact that we had our own kitchen and could make breakfast every morning without having a rush out the door, but they only gave us four plates, glasses and silverware. The code situation to get in and out of your room and to get into any of the amenities was annoying. They should definitely consider changing that to a swiping card.
The terrace that is accessible was fantastic and all the look of the bike trail, which was really cool to see people going by especially at night and the skyline was gorgeous.
Very convenient location just steps away from the convention center.
The apt was like a small cute apt for an undergrad. It had a full kitchen, washer, dryer, small living room, balcony and bedroom. Appreciated the privacy and the convenience. Would stay here again.. Thank you!

Great place
Place was very clean and comfortable. Staff was very accommodating and friendly. Location was convenient to restaurants and nightlife. Will definitely stay there again!
Excellent location, walkable to 6th street, Rainey street and the east side. On the metro line. Units were clean, comfortable, and modern. Cheaper than a hotel room, with more space and a kitchen. I would definitely stay here again!

Great place and great location.
I had a great stay at Placemakr in downtown Austin. The apartment building is conveniently located next to I-35 so easy in and out to the city, but was also walkable to restaurants and bars. The property is clean and has some really cool shared spaces. Would highly recommend and would definitely stay again.

Horrible experience and communication
Overall HORRIBLE experience. This was a very confusing process and the employees had no idea what was going on. Every person I talked to had a different answer and none were helpful. I also had to fight 4 employees to get a receipt, and that receipt didn’t even match the charge on my card. I would never stay here again. Don’t waste your money or time here.
The title says it all. The property is located at the heart of Austin. We walked everywhere in the city. The staff was friendly and the apartment is well-equipped and spacious. We had noisy lodgers upstairs for the first 2 nights which is not the hotel's fault; however, it is worth noting that sound travels between floors. The big question is 'Would I stay here again?' The answer is Yes.
