If you are visiting Austin and find this listing available, rent it now! This is a great home in a great area with exceptional hosts. Ted and Janelle are great hosts that take pride in providing a great experience for there guests. My family of four spent a few days at this property during Christmas holidays. The home is located at the rear of their property with parking on site. It is a two story building with the bedrooms being on the second floor. You enter the home in a small foyer with stairs that lead to the upper level. As you enter the main level, there is a washroom directly in the hall between the kitchen to the left and living room to the right. The bathroom is small but functional with a standup shower, sink and of course toilet. Across from the washroom there are two closets, to the right the washer and dryer and the left a linen closet. We did use the washer and dryer and it worked as expected. In the closet you will find linens, paper products, cleaning supplies, and additional cooking pans. To the left is a small kitchen that is very well stocked. It is more of a "bachelor" sized kitchen that contains small appliances, a small countertop, single sink, larger table, and side bar containing a toaster and coffee maker. Although small, it is extremely functional and we were able to cook our breakfast and two diners while staying here. There was coffee in the fridge for my wife which made her happy and a six pack of beer which made me happy. To the right is the living room. It is a nice space with a small sectional, coffee table,tv, and chair. There was enough comfortable seating for all of us and we even ended up eating our meals in this space as well. There is also a cubby under the stairs which has a good selection of books, games, and puzzles. You may also access a small deck from this room which due to the weather we were unable to use. Taking the staircase by the entry to the upper level, you will first notice a ladder. This will take you up to the rooftop patio, the most unique feature of this property. I would suggest wearing shoes or bare feet when climbing the ladder as we found it slippery with socks on. Hopefully you will be able to enjoy a coffee or beer provided by your hosts up here as I am sure it would be pretty and relaxing. It was raining the day we arrived which was the only time I went up there but did see a table and chairs. Upstairs there are two bedrooms with a bathroom between them. The bathroom is similar to the downstairs bathroom small but functional. The bedroom to the left has a queen bed with a comfortable matresses and an armoire for hanging up your clothes. The bedroom to the right also has a queen bed with a comfortable matresses, dresser and small closet with an iron and iron board. The whole home is well decorated but not over done, it has a very homey feeling throughout. Everything works well in the home. We turned the furnace on due to the cold and rainy days we experienced and it worked just fine both upstairs and down( there are two furnaces and thermostats as we latter found out). There is a well laid out binder that explained some of the attractions and details about the property. The cable and Internet were good with a descent channel selection. You can walk to many area attractions, but I would not say anything is particullarily close. We went out walking at night on several occasions and did not feel unsafe in the area.
