Alex is a fantastic host and responded to our questions in a jiffy. The house was beautiful and spotless, and he made sure that the pool was clean and ready when we checked in. There is ample space to spread out both inside and outside the house, and we loved that the kitchen was supplied with a blender and plenty of cooking utensils. Don't be alarmed that the house isn't "downtown" because you'll be able to get to any of the happening spots in less than 20 minutes with a car or cab. This was probably the smoothest stay we've had with Airbnb and will stay again if we return to Austin.
