Dana’s place was well located and large enough to host my two sister’s families and my parents.
The pool was clean and enjoyable for both the kids and the adults.
However, a few things to note before booking this Airbnb. First, this home is in a transitioning neighborhood in east Austin and there is only parking available on the street and in the alley. Considering the location leaving our cars out was a bit questionable. We had 4 cars but bringing anymore than that, then you may have difficulty with finding parking. Second, the exterior and inside of the home seemed to be just adequately maintained. Shrubbery needed more maintenance and home decor and furniture was in extremely used condition….unstable chairs, stained dining room table, minimal pots and pans, loose toilet seat, non-working outside outlets, soap dispensers that seemed like water was added to them to make them look full. Cleanliness was adequate but not exceptional. The TV in the living room solely has cable and does not have streaming tv. Just a note in case you’re needing access to Netflix, HULU, etc. Last, the garage apartment does not have its own fridge or stove. We had my sister stay there with an infant and so it would have been nice to at least have a mini fridge to stow milk and water.
Also one final safety note, the tubs are extremely slippery. My MIL, nephew and niece all fell in the tubs during our stay.
Overall, we had a nice stay. If you’re interested in running or walking trails, the home is just a few blocks down from the lake and you can find beautiful trails there. For food and drinks, Lou’s is literally behind the house and has a nice outdoor area with pool tables and corn hole. Also a great place for happy hour. For vegans, this home is also just a block away from Mr. Naturals restaurant. Definitely a plus!
