I decided to do an extended stay in Austin for 4 months and this place ended up being a perfect fit. I was traveling alone with my dog and was initially worried about finding a location that I felt extremely safe in which is why I am so glad I found this spot.
The neighborhood itself is ideal. I knew I didn't want to stay in the downtown area and finding the Bouldin Creek neighborhood felt like I found a hidden gem. I felt extremely safe walking my dog morning or night. There were always plenty of other families and other dog walkers out in the neighborhood. It was also a perfect location, its a short 10 minute drive to downtown but also walkable to Lamar Street with all sorts of restaurants and breweries, South 1st Street with more restaurants, coffee shops and food trucks and then just a bit further walk is Congress, which is filled with more restaurants and shopping! I honestly couldn't have found a better location in my opinion. Super convenient.

The house itself was the perfect size. King sized bed in the master bedroom was amazing. Having an extra room for visitors came in handy. The kitchen came fully stocked with pots, pans and everything else you could need. The living room was spacious and had a lot of natural light which was nice when having to "work from home". Overall it was pretty spacious!
The host was super responsive which I appreciated. If something came up or something needed to be fixed they responded almost immediately. Check in and check out was also super easy.
My only complaint was the mosquito problem in the backyard. I understand that Texas is known for mosquitos especially during the summer but when I first arrived I couldn't even be outside for any period of time without getting 50+ bites (no exaggeration) which was obviously problematic since I specifically reserved this house so my dog could enjoy the backyard. They did provide bug spray but the mosquito problem was so out of hand that the sprays didn't work. After buying all of the mosquito repellant contraptions I could find, with still nothing working - I took it upon myself to hire mosquito shield to come out and spray monthly since I knew I wouldn't last my entire stay dealing with that. I spent over 300 dollars and was hoping to be reimbursed for that which I was not BUT I can definitely say I saw a huge difference in those few short months so hopefully it will stay under control for a bit.
Overall great experience - was really sad to go!
