Lauri's place is in the Zilker area, which we loved. Lots of people walking, running, biking and walking their dogs. There are great places to eat nearby and the heart of the city is just minutes away.
The home is very spacious and great for a group of people. Large open concept area, living/kitchen.
The only drawback if I had to think of any , this is a tri-level home. If you have any physical restrictions then please be aware of the very steep stairs. You enter from the ground level, taking a set of steep stairs to the Kitchen and Living space / second level and bedrooms our on the third level. Maneuvering luggage 2 flights of stairs is tough with bad knees.
The Host is very quick to respond via email. She and her co host Annetta answered and solved our minor dilemma, same day with in an hour. We needed dish towels and an ironing board and soap in one dispenser and it was solved promptly.
I would definitely recommend this place and stay again if ever in Austin!
