This was our first trip to Austin, we enjoyed our stay in this home. It's close to restaurants and in a decent area. There is a pizza place down the street that had great pizza and amazing pretzels. People complain about train noise on some comments but as I learned on this trip, I heard the train in Waco, San Antonio and Austin. It's not that bad and you can't hide from it. This home had a very comfortable bed,great towels and bedding. That is very important to us. Great hostess too. She answers you back right away.
