Location, location, location! We walked everywhere! The capital, the Blanton Art Museum, Umlauf Sculpture Garden, Bullock Texas State History Museum, 6th street restaurants, and Ladybird Lake trails. Super convenient to see everything fun that Austin has to offer.
This AirBnB is right in the thick of downtown, just a block from the Whole Foods mothership. There can be some late night noise (street, trains, neighbors on weekends but that's a normal city thing) however the beds were comfy so it wasn't that big of a deal. The host has provided a box of earplugs for those especially sensitive to noise at night.
The condo is thoughtfully outfitted with a nicely stocked kitchen. We were a longterm rental and we were able to cook a lot of meals with the tools provided. The unit is also stocked with spare linens and towels and a washer and dryer for convenience.
Communication with the host was also superb. It didn't seem to matter what time of day we sent a message - we always recevied a very speedy, helpful and friendly response.
