Our entire group of mid-30 something moms enjoyed our stay in Austin so much that we are planning to do another trip next year - And hope to stay in the same home! The location is very close to shops, bars and restaurants. We didn't spend much time in the Airbnb but it was walking distance to most of the things we wanted to do. The host left some recommendations of places to go and things to see. There are tons of cool murals around the area so bring your camera! There was never a moment where we felt unsafe in this location.
One other thing worth noting - the listing says check in is at 4 but we received a text saying we were able to settle in at 3 so you may want to verify before carting luggage around the city.
