What an incredible little property right in one of the very best neighborhoods in Austin. You are literally walking distance to Auditorium Shores (for various festivals), South Congress area shops and restaurants, the South 1st food trailers, and there is a great dog friendly park right across the street-- I also brought my dog down to the creek a few steps past the park (Bouldin Creek).

So location is perfect, but so is the house. A few of my girlfriends and I came into town for a weekend and were beyond thrilled with the amenities throughout the house. The owner, Carole, has literally thought of everything. The kitchen is fully stocked with dishes, wine glasses, cups, plates, etc (there's even a blender and pots and pans-- and a grill on the back deck; you could have a nice little cook out).

When you walk in, there is a 4 inch binder that has been thoughtfully assembled with emergency & essential information in the front (where is the nearest hospital, grocery stores, maps, etc) and restaurants and things to do towards the middle and back. Very helpful.

All of the details were immaculate-- sheets were high thread count and very soft, there are shampoo, conditioner and body wash in the shower if you left yours, extra toothbrushes and other toiletries, plenty of bath towels and beach towels for swimming in Barton Springs (nearby), free and reliable wifi & cable, potty bags for cleaning up behind your dog in the back yard, there is a tissue box in every room of the house, and the whole place was recently remodeled and feels very well kept. Immaculate and comfortable.

Carole herself is very communicative and easy to reach for questions. She even stopped by on my first day to introduce herself and meet Maya, my pup. Overall, this was one of the best Airbnb stays I've had (and I've been staying at them since 2009). Loved the whole experience. HIGHLY recommend staying here without any reservations.
