The house is beautiful and peaceful. There is light everywhere and the backyard is a perfect place for yoga. The shower is insane. The kitchen is very hi- tech and well equipped, once you take a moment to learn how things work. The AC works great. The host is very responsive, very accommodating and sends you all the info you need for everything in advance. I really can't say enough about this house and this host. I texted the host that I couldn't find a toaster and he had one sent by amazon the next day. I was concerned about the guest house in the back and he assured me it would be occupied (if it was) by no more than one or two quiet people...and that's what happened. We hardly saw them and didn't feel like our privacy was compromised in any way. Truly a wonderful experience and we will be back. Also, we were able to walk to Barton Springs, Zilker Park (ACL) and were two minutes from Congress St. We were also in walkable distance (or a 3 minute drive) from some of Austin's best restaurants (Barlatta, Uchi, Loro) and many great coffee bars. You pretty much could get anywhere in Austin within 15 minutes. Actually want to keep this house to myself:) but Almog was too good a host not to give a glowing review!
