We had a wonderful stay in Austin and many thanks go to Mireille for her great accomodation.
The location is very quiet. You can however hear the people upstairs walking around, so if you are a light sleeper take earplugs.
We were able to walk from Mireille's place into Downtown and found plenty of bars and restaurants along the way. We can highly recommend Clarke's Oyster Bar. There is also a large Whole Foods within walking distance of the house.
The air conditioning and fans were fabulous to come home to after a long day in the sweltering Austin sun.
If you're wanting to burn off the burgers and bbq, the house is close to walking and running tracks.
Free street parking is available around the corner on the street or in the driveway (which you share with the other tenants).
