Was a great base for our stay in Austin. We’d never been to the city before and found everywhere we wanted to go was an easy drive. Also can walk to Zilker Park/Barton Springs.
The hosts are a vacation rental company and they definitely go above and beyond in terms of communication, so you have no worries there. The apartment was totally clean with everything you would need stocked in it. The only negative for me would be that the sofa bed was uncomfortable but, you know, that’s true of like 90% of the sofa beds I’ve ever slept on, so I can’t really complain. But something to consider especially if you’re prone to back issues.
The board game in the place was a nice bonus for the kids on a rainy day.
