Everything about this place is wonderful. We arrived after a long day of travelling to a beautiful picturesque house in an awesome neighbourhood. Hosts had a nice welcome letter and helpful local information waiting for us. The bedroom was lovely with a comfortable bed and an incredible massage chair that melted hours of airport stress away. Had dinner at a great mexican restaurant on the corner and checked out the downtown core (a short walk away). Next day, we woke up to sunlight streaming through the tall high ceiling windows and fresh baked blueberry banana bread on the porch. Could not have been a better start to the day.

All in all, we were in Austin for almost a week and thoroughly enjoyed staying here. Right across the river from the downtown core, around the corner from the performing arts center, a 20 minute walk from the convention center, and surrounded in every direction by great restaurants and bars. Also in the immediate area was a nature trail, bike rental shop, mini putt place, and a nice little par 3 golf course ($8 for a round).

All the good things I've ever heard about Austin were embodied in this place. Definitely a combination of super cool hosts and a gorgeous property in one of the city's best neighbourhoods. This was only our 2nd stay at an airbnb but it was so good, I swear I am never staying at a hotel ever again. In fact, I think that if all airbnbs were as great as Cynthia and Jim's place, the hotel industry would completely collapse. In fact, Cynthia and Jim should start a hotel network of places designed like their home. They would be billionaires, I'm telling you.

Anyways, A+++, 10/10, Five Stars, don't bother with other listings, this is the place you've been looking for. Seriously just do it.
