Rocio was a great host. She quickly responded within minutes to anything we needed! As far as location goes, we were in town for ACL and her house worked for us. It was close enough to drive downtown and catch the free bus to Zilker but far enough so that we didn't get stuck in all the concert goer traffic on our way home. The neighborhood is secluded from the city but we were fine with taking RideAustin or a cab which are approx. $30 one-way to and from downtown during prime time rates (for about 11 miles). No need to bring towels, there are plenty provided. Wi-fi, netflix included and there is a TV in each room. Overall I would recommend to anyone visiting Austin!!
