If I could give Jacob six stars, I would! My wife, pets, and I really enjoyed our stay at Jacob's home. We just ended a 3-day relocation from DC to Austin and planned to use Jacob's place as our "home base" while we got our place situated. It surpassed our expectations by a wide margin.
The place was sparkling clean and fresh smelling as we entered. This isn't always the case for pet-friendly rentals. Jacob's clearly put in a lot of effort to ensure his guests enjoy their stay and it's reflected in the decor and the kitchen. The latter being fully stocked with everything needed to cook breakfast, lunch, and dinner. We cooked several of our meals over the week-long stay. He had also left some snacks for us, which was really nice. The bed, shower pressure, and Wifi were excellent as well. The fenced-in back-yard was a plus for our pup.
As for the location, it's perfect! Short drive to downtown, though we stayed pretty close. There's an HEB right down the street. The neighborhood itself was really friendly in safe. We walked w/ our dog every night.
In short, the place is great and we have already recommended it to our friends and family as they come and visit. We highly recommend Jacob's place to you as well!
