Ames - Austin Vacay was in a great location and walking distance to Lake Austin hike and bike trail, Deep Eddys pool and beautiful neighborhood to take walks in. The 1st floor condo itself provided sufficient space for 2 couples and someone in the sofa bed. It was fairly clean with adequate kitchen supplies for cooking. On the negative, there was a strange smell in the master bedroom which may have been a dead creature in the walls. The neighbor above was very noisy and played loud music for hours in the middle of the day and is a very heavy walker. The other neighbors are heavy smokers and the smell sometimes can permeate through the apartment. There are no windows with views or any privacy, so very little natural light unless you don’t mind the neighbors looking in the apartment. Also, be sure not to leave anything behind because the cleaning crew will get dibs before the owner knows if anything was missing such as my iPhone charger.
