What an amazing place to stay while visiting Austin.
Location, I don't think you can do much better. 10-15 minute walk to some top spots (Franklin BBQ, E. 6th Street and Rainey St. night life, bunch of really good restaurants and food trucks). Neighborhood is tucked away from any traffic and I felt totally safe even walking late at night.
The actual unit is like literally brand new. So new appliances, decorations, etc. The space itself is very comfy. I'd say better for a single traveler than a couple, but depending on your needs and how long the stay, 2 could possibly be comfortable. All high end stuff, nice working space for computer, etc. and tons of drawers and closet. Bed super comfy as well. Never had any internet issues and seemed pretty fast. You don't get a lot of noise from the owners since they're on the two floors below you. Well stocked with couple different coffee makers, all the soaps/shampoo/etc., and utensils/glassware, etc.
It got a little chilly when I planned to use the pool so I skipped, but it's a really nice lap style pool with a jacuzzi at the end. The area around the pool feels like a resort kind of set up, some places to hang out in the shade, lounge chairs, etc.
Was met by their dog a couple times, super friendly. And I ran into the owners maybe once or twice during the 5 days. Very nice people.
The only two things of note are these: Unit is on third floor, standalone guest house kind of set up. Access is via a spiral staircase. Hauling a heavy suitcase up there could be an issue for some. Never came home tipsy, but yeah, that would be interesting if you had a drink or two too many. It was ok for me, but I'm pretty fit, so just saying. Second, the bathroom isn't partitioned off in the unit. Might be something they address in the future. It's tucked away in the corner well away from the bed, but yeah, if traveling with another, privacy for shower and toilet use might be a problem.
Ally who is the co host was amazing. Walked me through a bunch of stuff and provided endless list of places to go and stuff to do.
Highly, highly recommend especially if you can handle the steps.
