Sylvia was a wonderful host. She responded to questions in a timely manner. Sylvia was able to provide additional info on a grocery store near by plus area attractions & festivals that were going on during the weekend.

The photos & descriptions of Sylvia's place are very accurate. The place is located in the back yard of the main house so you enjoy total privacy. The neighborhood is a historic area with nicely restored older homes. At night, the neighborhood is quiet - so no crazy or loud neighbors to deal with. The place was clean, organized, and well stocked. Only had to pick up a few groceries. Coffee & tea were provided. The garden patio was a relaxing and welcome oasis on the edge of downtown.

The place is about a 5 minute walk to Rainey St, less than a 5 minute walk to some food trucks, less than a 15 minute walk to ACL Live (Moody Theater), and about a 10 minute walk to 6th Street. Everything seemed to be within walking distance. The place is about a block or so away from 1st street (Cesar Chavez) and near the IH-35 freeway access road. Thankfully, it is far enough away so you don't hear road noise from freeway.

When planning my next trip to Austin, I will be checking first to see if Sylvia's place is available.
