This property was exactly as advertised. Super comfortable - both for hanging out and sleeping and great location (about .5 from Congress Ave where there are great restaurants and shopping). This was our first time visiting Austin and if we come back (which we'd love to!) we'll definitely check to see if this place is available.
6.0 / 10.0Average·Oct 2025
This listing did not have a pool as stated and when asked for access to the cowboy tub, they claimed this was part of the listing however I was not able to access it. I would need to access the community pool. I left and did not stay. Big disappointment and the argument that the management had was ridiculous.... saying that the listing was valid due to the cowboy tub that was not accessible. When I asked for cancellation, the team at Portoro is now forcing me to deal with my credit card company.
