James' place was the perfect base for our group of seven to explore Austin. The neighborhood felt safe and quiet and was close to all the major attractions. We never had to travel more than 15 minutes to get anywhere. There's plenty of street parking but if you don't have a car there are lots of nearby shops, restaurants, coffee/food stands, bars within walking distance.
The kitchen is well stocked, but we didn't do any cooking because there were so much food we wanted to try. One thing to note is that with the exception of the master bedroom, all the rooms have two beds and one of the rooms with beds (the upstairs den/office) doesn't have a door. That didn't matter for our group, but may be important for others.
Overall the place was spacious, clean, and well maintained. The wi-fi was great and the air conditioning was nice and cool (amazing after a day in the Texas sun). Our group also appreciated the Whole Foods toiletries and soap. If I'm ever back in town with a group I would stay again without hesitation. James is a very responsive host and he checked in with us before and throughout our stay. Thanks, James!
