We actually didn't stay in this rental, as there was damage from a flood in the apartment above, and we stayed in another property - The Speakeasy. We found out about the change a 1+ week in advance, so it wasn't a bother.

The new apartment was in the building next door and had the same amenities as this original place. It was very nice, well-appointed, clean and stocked with the basic supplies (linens, towels, shampoo/conditioner, body wash, plates, glassware, cutlery, pots and pans and even a keurig w/ k-cups!). It was perfect for our week in Austin for the F1 race. Having the full kitchen also saved us a lot of money from having to eat out at every meal, and when you are spending $12 for a taco at COTA, you can use all the savings you can get.

The area around the rental is really great for walking almost everywhere - 6th Street, SoCo, Whole Foods, etc. We only used a pedicab once (other than the shuttle to/from the airport and COTA) and that was more for the experience than the need. For food places, I recommend The Backspace for dinner (recommendation from Ryan's area guide - thanks!).

Also, of note, you can hear the goings-on of people and cars on 4th street, so bring ear plugs or use a white noise app on your phone if you are a light sleeper. Or, if you are utilizing only one bedroom, I recommend sleeping in the back bedroom, which doesn't face the street.

Ryan and Thomas, his associate, were great hosts. Very prompt and detailed with communications. We would definitely book again with Ryan!
