Host was very communicative, including being flexible about early arrival time since the house was already ready for us. We loved the neighborhood, so were happy to hang out in some local joints as well as at the house. Lots of nice touches, including an incredibly comfortable bed, high-quality linens, and what seemed to be a great kitchen area (though we didn't use it much b/c of all the great food around Austin). The inside was a bit darker than the photos, but that wasn't a problem for us, as there was plenty of indoor lighting. All in all--thanks for a great stay.
