"Charming" is a good word to describe the house! it was very cute. Felt very authentic to Austin. Nice neighborhood.
We stayed here for ACL. It was a bit far from the festival. But if you're not coming during one of the biggest weekends in Austin, it's an easy, $12-15 Uber downtown. There are a few great restaurants to walk to (Vamonos, Foreign and Domestic, and the Japanese coffee shop close by).
One thing to note: The host lives behind the house, on property. I did not mind this at all! It means the host is close by if there is an issue. However, this made my friend uncomfortable and she said if she had known, she would not have wanted to book it. I guess it makes her feel watched? I am adding this in case any other visitors are like my friend and want to know that!
