Colorful indeed and a great location! Our five year old loved being so close to the park (many excellent play structures and a wonderful miniature train) and my wife and I loved being so close to the restaurants on Barton Springs. The neighborhood is very quiet and the street has little traffic. The house has two assigned parking spaces so we always had extra space next to our rental car. Furnishings were great. All in all, we enjoyed it immensely and look forward to booking again on our next trip to Austin.
