Kade's house was clean, uncluttered, and recently renovated. It was very easy to get comfortable. Kade was quickly responsive to all of our emails and questions, with helpful suggestions on places to go. The best part of the house is the location next to E. 6th Ave and downtown - November in Austin was like June in Portland. We walked everywhere from the house to S. Congress, to U Texas, to LBJ museum, and the house was a great base. The neighborhood looks to be developing quickly with food cart pods, art spaces, hip small businesses, and multi-use condos, and we felt safe. The freeway is close but didn't feel intrusive.
