LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION. This house is in the heart of East Austin which was the main selling point for our stay. There are tons of food options/breweries/bars etc. on the East side within very close reach, but this location is also just a ~5 minute ride to cross under I-35 and you have access to everything Downtown Austin has to offer - best of both worlds.
As for the home itself, the entire property is gated (including the driveway), so we felt very secure at all times. Our dog loved the gated, large back yard area to explore. Small touches and amenities were well thought out and really made our stay effortless. Plenty of towels, other supplies (cleaning, laundry, etc.) were more than sufficiently stocked. Stayed here for over a week and did not have a need to contact the host even once; everything worked as advertised with no issues at all. A seamless and comfortable stay.
