I stayed there alone doing SXSW marts 2016. So I was not there much. It was close enough to walk to down town - 25 min walk. Taxi around 10 $.
Silent area - but close to river. Excellent restaurant nearby (300 m.) Laudrette - very good.
Karen made acces and communication easy. Was abel to answer quickly and direct.
The place is huge and actually a bit to big, if you are just one. If you are a couple is great. To floors and a large kitchen.

I recommend the place to everybody who wants to visit the fantastic city of Austin.
