The house is in a location situated minutes from downtown Austin. It is tucked away off the beaten path. It is however located in an area that's in transition from low income housing to refurbished housing on the east side of Austin. The area is safe and we had no issues. It is beautifully decorated on the inside by the owner. If you're looking for a place to sleep and shower and OK with roughing it a bit this is your place. It's fine for a home base if you plan to be out and about in Austin Jennifer the owner is extremely accommodating and is as nice as they come.
