Having been to Austin many times for work and family visits, I would recommend this house. This is a nice roomy place in an up-and-coming neighborhood that is a short walk to all the cool stuff in downtown but has room for cars to park and a yard. We had ages 70 to 1 in the house with no concerns. There is a nice coffee shop around the corner and the beds are comfy. Some houses in the neighborhood are new and probably over a million while some are still a bit dumpy - I would say this place is right in the middle of the spectrum. Santa and her husband were good hosts and very responsive to our questions and concerns but there are some hodgepodgy fixes to the house (eg, faucets, no drawer for silverware) and the internet on the front room tv is slow (no cable or local stations either). If you are in town for a conference or a group get together this is a good and convenient place for a large group and the hosts will respond to your concerns.
