This place was exactly as described, nicely renovated, comfortable, and in a neighborhood that was perfect for what we were in Austin to do (even near some friends of ours). Our stay was pleasant and uneventful overall, but I wasn't able to fully relax because I felt we had to be constantly worrying about not overstepping rules. My husband and I are generally very conscientious guests, but when the house manual includes rules like "no pungent food," you start to worry about just how particular the hosts will be. That said, Vivian was very communicative and proactive when we had some minor hiccups, which is always appreciated. Overall, if you're looking for a spot to spend a few quiet nights in NW Austin in a beautiful neighborhood, with yard access for your dogs, this is a good option.
