Both the house and host were extremely accommodating and we managed to situate 8 people very comfortably. Although two dogs were mention in the home's description, both were kept separate from the main house and our animal-phobic friend felt calm and comfortable staying at the here. My sister and I are already considering requesting to use the house again the next time we have a trip to Austin and we highly recommend it to anyone looking for a cozy and affordable place to lodge.
