I did not regret booking Neal's listing. He was quickly responsive in his communications. The house was in good condition and the heating came in handy when the temperature dropped from low 70s to upper 40s/low 50s. House was comfortable and clean and perfect for a long weekend jaunt. Also well appointed -- plenty of kitchen and dining supplies, towels of different sizes, linens, and even a couple thinner blankets as alternates to very warm comforters.
East Austin neighborhood and location were great too -- just 10 mins walk to the iconic White Horse honky tonk bar and historic Cisco's diner (LBJ ate there!). Also highly recommend Bufalina, an Italian pizza restaurant, also about 8 mins away.
The specific location was generally pretty quiet, but for noise-sensitive folks wanting to sleep in, there is a large building in construction behind the house. Very quiet at night time, but the project does ramp up at 7am.
