The guest house is well constructed and made a comfortable stay for a weekend trip to Austin. It is in a quiet neighborhood that was conveniently located for getting downtown. There are motion lights along the side fence and house to facilitate access to the gate for getting into the guest house at night. The backyard is large and provides ample space for sitting in the provided chairs to enjoy an outdoor conversation. While the updated bathroom if fairly tight, the kitchen and living room are very open. I would highly recommend staying here if not traveling with a pet.
Pet owners - I was understandably disappointed to find out that there is no grass in the backyard (as shown in the listing pictures). It is all rock (can see this in the photo as a walkway) and dirt, which you should especially note if there could be rain during your stay. The entire yard is fenced and secure to prevent your animal from getting out (unless they can hop a 3ft gate). My biggest issue was the sticky leaves from the surrounding trees on the ground. Every time I let my dog out to do his business, he would be covered in them. It literally looked like he walked through glue and then had leaves thrown on him. It was a nightmare cleaning them off every single time he went out.
