Amy was an excellent host. Very friendly and very engaging. The apartment itself is lovely, tucked away around the back behind the main family house. It is your own private space. Inside the facilities are very good. It can be a little darker at times than the light, bright photos depict. But everything was spotless throughout with good bedding and towels provided. As for the neighbourhood, if you want to be away from all the hustle and bustle of downtown, then the Barton Springs area is by far the best - take it from someone who has visited Austin for a good few years now - with the lively S Congress and Lamar very close at hand. All in all Amy's place is great, and I'll definitely return if I get the opportunity.
