The neighborhood was really quiet/safe/beautiful, and within a 10 minute drive in any direction of 6th street/downtown, South Congress, and all the non-city amenities you might need like big box stores. Anne was a fantastic host, and I find it hard to add onto the many positive reviews others have left without repeating their praise. She was kind enough to let us stay the day after Christmas, which meant that she had just come back from vacation. Everything was extra-clean and the place felt homey. Prior to my visit, Anne made us feel welcome by responding promptly to any questions I had. Although we didn't have the chance to really chat, Anne reached out to us during our visit to make sure that we were all set each night. We will definitely consider staying here again the next time we're in Austin!
