We booked on short notice and Brian got back to us promptly and was easy to work with. Easy check-in and no strange house rules. It is a quiet place adjacent to Brian's home - driving there in the evening we saw five deers and I don't think that is uncommon of the area. It was as pictured and very clean. As described, the ceilings in the loft are lower and might be an issue if you are tall and are planning to spend a lot of time in the upstairs bedrooms. For us, it was no issue - we just slept up there and thought it was an interesting Austin experience - why go to Austin and stay some place generic? We found the upstairs to be adorable and my son loved it. We would be happy to stay there again.
