Perfect 1 night stay
We really enjoyed the charm and character of this VRBO. The host was so kind to set up the extra twin mattress for us and we appreciated the snacks since we were traveling with two kids. We only stayed one night but almost wished we had a little more time at this beautiful studio VRBO!

Fun one night stay
The Goldfish Loft is a unique and beautiful place to stay in Brownwood. We were there one night for a collegiate sport event and were charmed with our experience. The rental is very well appointed and within walking distance to great shops and restaurants. I would highly recommend it if you find yourself looking for a place to stay in Brownwood TX.

We love staying at the Goldfish Loft. Everything is perfect, and it has the cutest decor. The snacks are so appreciated because there are always two teens with us. It’s our home away from home where we come to visit our son at college.

Cool Property!
It was a very cool property in the heart of downtown Brownwood. Walking distance to all kinds of shops and restaurants in an up and coming small Texas town! The loft was well done with a lot of nice touches. The deli next door is quaint and has awesome food. Other than a few trains in the distance it was very quiet and peaceful despite being downtown. I will stay there again in the future!

Superb accommodation in every way
This downtown "city loft" style space was above and beyond what I expected might be available in Brownwood, TX and a wonderful value. First, the location is perfect for anyone preferring to be in the central part of town. It's located on the street level just a block from City Hall and adjoins a delicious and fabulous place called "Steves' Market and Deli," which is run by the loft's hosts, Steve and Steve. These guys are the absolute best and know everything about what is happening around town. Pop in next door for a coffee or lunch--it's a must do. You are also a super short walk from other very good dining and entertainment options. Second, the loft itself is the size of 2-3 normal hotel rooms and has a kitchen which comes stocked with everything you need to cook and a premium/gourmet coffee service set-up. The space is beautifully appointed throughout and has a great bed/linens. Despite the downtown location, noise was never an issue because city-center Brownwood isn't loud and felt very safe to walk around even after dark. The bathroom was wonderful and spacious with a great shower and bath products. All in all, I had a fantastic stay and recommend it to anyone without any hesitation ... this is without a doubt the single best "high end" accommodation in the greater Brownwood area.

Highly recommend this property? Perfect location for downtown and just a few blocks from HPU. The beds were amazing and very comfortable. My daughter goes to HPU so we will absolutely stay here again. If you visit brownwood definitely see if the Goldfish is available to stay in, you will not regret it.

We absolutely loved this cozy spot! We have family in Brownwood and have been less than pleased with all hotel options. This was a very comfortable rental, extremely clean, cute and with the perfect amenities for us and our toddler son! Not to mention the location is perfect, right in the heart of downtown and minutes to anywhere in Brownwood. Thank you!! We will absolutely be back.
