My husband and I and our dog stayed at Brunson’s house in Travis Heights for more than 5 weeks in November and December. We can’t say enough great things about it. First and perhaps most important for us, the location is perfect. It’s a great old neighborhood with cool unique houses ranging from bungalows to contemporary houses, lots of ancient live oaks and other trees, wonderful walking (we take our dog for lots of long walks) in the hood, like an oasis in the middle of the city. Then a 5 minute walk away you are right on South Congress with tons of restaurants, shopping, and people watching. You can also walk or bike (we brought our bikes) to the Town Lake Trail (also called the Butler Trail) and get anywhere in the center of the city fast by Lyft. Beyond the location, the house itself is very comfy and stylish, and provided plenty of room to settle in. Brunson is quick to respond to any query we sent him, a terrific host. Since we were staying so long we had a lot of breakfasts and lunches, and a few dinners, at home, and the kitchen was generally well-equipped for that. The bedrooms, especially in the bigger one in back, are nice and comfortable. (Note - there is only one (very nice) bathroom, fine for a couple, but depending on your preferences maybe not for two couples over an extended period.) The fenced back yard is huge, though a work in progress at the moment after removal of a large tree and garage, but it served our purposes for letting the dog out if she wanted between walks and sitting out for cocktails or lunch on nice days, which were plentiful. We really recommend this place. In fact, a friend of ours has already rented it for two weeks in February after I told her about it!
