VERY clean area. We thought the location was nice. It was about 15 minutes from any part of Austin we wanted to go to. They do have a dog in the backyard that you pass through every time you come and go, but is being dog lovers it just added to the experience. I could see how it wouldn’t be appreciated if you don’t love dogs though. The house is in their backyard, so every time you come/go the hosts see you. Not a problem for us. The hosts were nice and offered us help with anything we needed. We would stay here again!
