Susie is an excellent host. She very quickly answers any question/concern you may have. There are recommendations for nearby restaurants/shopping/etc. on a sheet for you. All other pertinent information is handy. The condo has good wifi and basic cable in living room only. Good size fridge and plenty of supplies for the kitchen.

Overall the place is showing a little age but everything functions. Pics do a pretty good job of representing the inside. LR couch could use replacement.

One of the best things about this condo is the location. You can easily walk to CVS, or a nearby Dollar store for basic stuff you may have forgotten. There is a great grocery (H.E.B) only thee blocks away. If you like any nightlife it is nearby - less than a mile down Congress there are numerous bars and music venues, and less than 2 miles to the downtown clubs, down the same Congress Ave route.
You are very close to the main interstate corridor I-35 so you can easily connect to any other area of the city quickly. Just a short note here on the traffic - it can be awful on I-35 and several of the other main supply corridors. Austin has quickly overgrown it's ability to move people by car. Avoid rush hour on the main highways if at all possible. We found it MUCH easier and quicker to use Congress and the other streets if you are only going a few miles during the high traffic times. If you are headed to the far side of town 8-10 miles away then the highways are certainly quicker.

One piece of advice we would have is to go ahead and try some of the other BBQ places other than the highly recommended ones (LA and Franklin - they have ridiculously slow long lines and the wait is not worth it - over an hour at both is normal and much more in many cases). We just happened to stop at a place a block away from LA and we found the brisket to be as good tasting and more tender.
