Marilyn was a great host! She was easily accessible if needed and made us feel welcome with yogurt, fruit, & chocolate in the fridge. We brought our dogs along and Marilyn was very accommodating for them to be there. The rental was smaller than I anticipated, but it was very clean and functional. The only downfall is in the middle part of the day it was warmer than we like due to Austin heat. There was a small A/C unit and a fan. The fan was set by timer, so it would turn off after 1.5 hrs. The neighborhood is quiet & safe. It is in a great location for all of Austin's activities!! Overall this stay was amazing & we had a great time in Austin, hopefully we will be back soon!!
