We had a great time in Austin! The apartment is beautifully constructed and furnished and is just as it appears in the photos. The home/apartment is centrally located and convenient to pretty much everywhere you would want to go. My husband commented a dozen times during the trip how great the location was (and I commented a dozen times about how great the apartment and surrounding neighborhood were).

The neighborhood that the home is located in is also beautiful with large homes, each of which have their own unique architecture. It was a great area to go for a walk in the morning.

The host asks guests to not turn the A/C below 73 degrees. I was slightly concerned about that since my husband runs hot and can't sleep if it's too hot. The temperature restriction was not a problem at all. The apartment cools down very quickly (thanks to central A/C) and 73 degrees is plenty cool enough (for us both!).

The only quirky thing about the apartment was the TV sound. We couldn't figure out how to turn the sound on (it was a lot trickier than it might sound). The TV doesn't have cable, so we only turned it on twice during our stay so that wasn't a big deal, but a few instructions might help :).

I do want to mention that the owners of the home keep to themselves and we never actually met them during our stay. The key was left for us when we arrived, and we left the key on our way out. That was actually better for us since we also keep to ourselves and were not looking for directions/recommendations/etc., just a nice place to stay. I'm sure they would be helpful if you requested, but constant interaction with the tenant doesn't appear to be their MO.

Overall, this apartment is WAY better than any hotel room that you would get at anywhere near the same price point. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would stay with them again in a heartbeat.
