Aboslutely perfect if you want to be a little outside of the city with all of the comforts of home. I stayed in Brian's place for 17 days to recover from a surgical procedure. The house was perfect.
-immaculately clean and easy to maintain due to very little clutter/decorations and tile floors
- 13 minute ride into "the city", we were able to get to and from the heart of Austin in just minutes without the expense of staying in Austin
-neighborhood living, quiet although very cookie cutter with HOA so little character if that is your thing, easy to go for a run or walk in the neighboorhood and a fenced backyard
- the house had almost everything we could need. Seriously the only thing it lacked was a spice rack. Kitchen was super easy to cook in and well stocked. SO MANY PILLOWS AND BLANKETS! Even had egg crates/toppers for the bed in the closet incase you needed to change the firmness. Other things he had that I appreciated: a gym, printer with usb cable, full range of cleaning supplies, all SMART TVs that allowed casting so you did not have to add in my accounts to the TV and could just cast from my phone, easy access to the HDMI ports on the TV so I could attach a gaming system
The only "downsides" are truly out of the owners control but worth noting for those who may want the info and these are so minor
- house is echoy so if someone is trying to sleep and another is watching tv or talking on the phone or adults need privacy from kids that may be of concern
-street lights and neighbors' lights come into the bedrooms, due to the way the windows are shaped I could not get complete darkness, if you need that bring a sleeping mask
- if you go grocery shopping it is worth the slightly extra drive to the HEB on Bee Cave Rd vs the one that is closest to the house
-super close to Target, Walmart, CVS, HEB and some other larger stores but we went into Austin or onto Bee Cave Rd to eat out, not much right near the house.
I would stay here again and have already shared it with other folks I know traveling to Austin for similar health concerns as mine. What a wonderful home for me to recover in. I am so very grateful I came across this listing.
