I'm an Austin resident and booked this place for birthday weekend stay-cation with some family and friends coming from out of town. We had an amazing time in the Norton's home and I couldn't have asked for a better place. They reached out to me prior to the weekend to understand my food preferences, provided an air mattress and prepared the fold-out bed in the sunroom for additional sleeping space, and were immediately available to answer any questions that I had.

The pictures are pretty spot on and the house decor is even better in person. From the outside, the house looks unassuming but its layout makes it feel very spacious. Also, the house has *everything* (iron, cooking utensils, etc.) that a house should have, is very clean, well-organized and smells great - don't underestimate how important scent is! Though there is street parking, their driveway fits at least 4 cars so that you don't have to park on the street - something that was important to me since I had people driving into town. The neighborhood has everything you need and is about a 15 minute drive downtown or to the east side.

I can't decide which part of the house was my favorite - the large and radiant sunroom or the well laid out living room with enough seating to play a game of Taboo (which they provided!).

My only regret is that we didn't utilize the backyard more during our stay!
