Great winter stay at Edward's place! Edward and his wife answered all of our questions quickly, and they were very friendly whenever we happened to see them.
It really feels like home there - a great place to return to after a day of touring Austin. The kitchen is large enough to prepare any meal - Edward's wife graciously allowed us to use some fresh collard greens from her garden to make soup. The bed was large and comfortable, and the neighborhood was very quiet.
No need to rent a car - the local #10 city bus (just a 5 minute walk from Edward's place) will take you down a street with dozens of unusual and beautiful clothing/art shops, food trucks, a botanica, small markets and cafes, and then drop you off downtown for much, much more. For longer trips, the local yellow tax service is very prompt.
Just a great experience! The most enjoyable vacation my wife and I have ever had.
