The house is located in a quiet and safe residential area.
There are two parks close by, and one could go discover some hiking trails just within few minutes walk from the house: Walnut Creek Metropolitan Park. It is safe for jogging alone, too, and offers off-leash dog walk areas - very nice as such !
We parked the car overnight just in the street, we drove in 7 minutes to the Domaine district ( cool eating and going out place ) and called UBER to go to the Texas State Capitol ($20.00) in the morning and back from the Rainy Street nightclubs area ($25.00) around 11 pm.
This is definitely a highly recommended location to stay at when in Austin.
The hosts are great people.
