Our host left us the key code to the apartment. We never met Sean, but feel very kindly toward him for providing such lovely accommodations. The apartment is all newly furnished. It's so light and airy that you'll need to cover your eyes at night if you need dark to sleep in. The bed is very comfortable. Having two bathrooms is a plus. The porch/deck gets morning sun. The kitchen works well.
We took to calling our apartment 'the catbird seat'. it's up the hill from Zilker Park, which we visited every day. It's up the hill from some iconic Austin restaurants as well, and the convenience store next door even carries the New York Times.
