We had a full house--two couples plus two friends staying together. This location worked out perfect as it provided three beds plus a couch if needed for sleeping. It was clean and Forrest provided a folder full of information about Austin, maps, and things to see. It's conveniently located and the neighborhood feels safe and walk friendly. The backyard is huge and a great space for hanging out, drinking, or grilling.

Two caveats from our stay: 1) immediately upon entering we were greeted by a cockroach smack in the middle of the guest bedroom. After settling down, we found another roach in the kitchen sink. A couple of girls in our group were put off by this. Forrest offered to cancel the reservation; however, we were in no position to find a last minute accommodation smack in the middle of our trip. 2) The master shower had inconsistent hot water. Though the guest shower clearly had plenty of hot water for everyone to shower, the master shower appeared to get colder the farther you turned it to "hot" water (the red side).

Overall, the downsides did not prevent us from enjoying Austin and Forrest was quick to reply to our concerns. Given the option I'd probably recommend the location to others just be aware of the things I mentioned above.
