The house is big, well lit, and cozy. We had a wonderful stay with our family over Christmas - the kitchen is fully stocked with everything one can possibly need for cooking and there is lots of space. It was too cold to use the back covered patio but it is likely an awesome hangout place in the Spring. The only downside to the house is that is is pretty old and the old windows do not insulate well so we had to run a noisy heater the entire time (it was unusually cold for Austin during our stay). The mattress of the bed in one of the lower bedrooms had a strange dip but there were other beds we could use instead in the other bedrooms. Overall a great stay on a quite street.
