Very cute home. While the trip driving into town was a bit difficult due to all the construction on the highway and being unfamiliar with the area, it was still a very ideal location. It’s less than a 15 min drive to 6th or Rainey without having to deal with the madness.
Communication with the owners was very quick and easy. They were only a text away. We were able to get an earlier check-in (12 pm) and a late check out (12 pm).
One downside about the house is that the walls are VERY thin. It is very easy to hear people talking in the normal voice (which we all tend to talk a little louder) from outside of the home. Since it is Austin, after 9 or 10PM they have a city wide ordinance about being too loud. We received a couple of texts each night from the owners for excessive noise which happened to be from the boys playing video games, or us just chatting away. The owners were extremely polite about it though, and once we figured out how softly we needed to speak, everything worked out.
I would definitely recommend this home to a couple or people who need a quiet get away, but not if you have people in your party who tend to be naturally loud, or you plan on staying in and staying up to play games.
