Amanda's place was in the heart of real South Austin. If you are looking for a fancy neighborhood this isn't your place, but we felt safe and happy during our stay. The decor was fab and we could tell Amanda was really thinking about her guests.
The back yard is amazing and BIG, but there isn't the hammock as shown in the pics. We supplied our own and the 2 trees were the perfect distance apart. There is a LOT of shade back there, and we were pleased.
The air conditioner rocks! We did not have trouble getting the place to a good temperature. The mattresses were really comfortable for everyone, and we are a hard to please group.
There were plenty of hangers in the closets and little dressers so you can unpack your stuff.
The dishes and tableware were limited, so you may feel the need to supplement. There is no dishwasher, so be prepared to wash frequently.
We had a toilet clog while we were there, but there was a plunger and we took care of it.
The washer and dryer worked well. We provided our own soap.
Overall we were really pleased with our stay and would absolutely stay again.
