Larry's home was absolutely perfect for us. We stayed for just over 3 weeks in January/February. We wanted an excuse to escape the winter in Chicago and enjoy some mild temps in Austin. Larry's home was the perfect retreat for us. He was more than accommodating. Our communication prior to the check in was perfect. He was very thorough explaining the amenities and procedure for checking in. The location is ideal - 5 min drive to Town Lake. Walking distance to Torchy's. 2 Min drive to Elizabeth Street and Sway.. trailers, etc. Close to the highway to drive to the greenbelts. We really felt at home there. We also enjoyed cooking at home - using his grill and kitchen. Our dog Benny was also with us, (Larry's home is dog friendly) and he really enjoyed playing in the back yard and laying in the sun on the front porch. The home was quaint and clean. He had all the necessary household appliances we needed. We were able to do laundry, grill out, cook at home and watch TV (google fiber with dvr...yay!). I didn't miss anything in Chicago - we had everything we needed in Austin and at Larry's place! We definitely will be back, and hope to stay here again. We even felt like Larry became a new friend during our time at his place. Friendly texts from him to check in and see how we were doing. And we got to meet him and he was so personable and we had a lot in common! We would recommend Larry's home to everyone we know! Take it from us - we got a chance to really experience it for a long stay - don't miss out on this amazing home! It's a gem for sure. Thanks Larry!
