Tom's place is absolutely beautiful and in a great location. South Congress street is just a 5 min. walk from the house, the famous "Welcome to Austin" mural is right across the street from the house. There is tons of restaurants, coffee shops, bake shops, food trucks, etc. all walking distance from the house. Additionally, the house in it itself is beautiful and has everything you need for a wonderful stay in Austin. The heated pool is definitely a plus. Apart from this, Tom is an excellent host, he was so helpful and very attentive with our group. We stayed at his place for my friend's bachelorette weekend, and he made sure to help us by allowing us to ship packages to the house and ensuring to pick up the packages when they arrived, gave a lot of great recommendations on restaurants. He was great communicating with us and ensuring we had everything we needed for a great stay. Highly recommend staying at Tom's place!
