Eric was a helpful, attentive host and his rental was a delightful (and wonderfully clean!) home base for exploring Austin. I was traveling with a friend and the set-up gave us each a "side" to settle into with plenty of shared space for lounging around including the front porch. The bikes were a key amenity--we rode to Barton Springs Pool every day for a swim. At night we could easily walk to South Congress, 1st or nearby Lamar for good eats. The neighborhood was quiet and in a good location to get that living like a local vibe.
