Alison and John were great hosts! Although they were not there while we visited, they made sure we had everything we needed and stayed in contact via email and by phone. The house is located in one of the prime areas in Austin - close to wonderful Zilker park and there are number of great restaurants and music venues within a short distance from the house. The online description was accurate however there was a little confusion with photos on an older and newer site for the same house, which may be resolved by now. But trust us, the place is very nice and well furnished. The neighborhood is safe and very walkable and there is a small convenience store with staples and a nice selection of beer and wine within walking distance. The house is very well equipped with state of the art appliances and the bedding is super comfortable. Everything in the house is first rate and in excellent condition. The large den/office in the back also has a very comfortable fold-out couch. The two bedrooms downstairs worked great for our kids and the upstairs master bedroom and bath was beautiful. Our hosts left us plenty of information about the area to help us get settled. We highly recommend this rental and we will most certainly rent again next year. It was above and beyond all our expectations!!
