Raul's place was very conveniently located for all our needs, whether it was going to the convention center, getting pounds of brisket, or just exploring Austin. Only a mile or so south of the river, there were plenty of places to walk the dogs and eat nearby, and it was only a 5 minute drive to downtown without having to get on I-35, which is a huge convenience at times. It was very clean, comfortable, and truly felt like home. The host is readily available if you need him, and the Tempurpedic bed is icing on the cake after a long day. The wifi, tv, and other entertainment options are also great if it ends up raining while you're there. If you're considering this place, I definitely recommend you book it. I highly doubt you'll find a better or more equipped place for the price.
