Lovely cozy little place in an amazing location. We had a great time at this place during a quick family getaway to Austin - the location cannot be beat, right in the center of all the best the city has to offer, but in a mature, beautiful, quiet neighborhood. It was very well stocked - we cooked a few simple meals in the kitchen and found everything we need along with condiments, basic pantry items, spices, etc. (the only thing missing is I wish the knives were sharper, but I have yet to find a vacation rental where the knives are sharp, so that's just me being nit-picky). Even though it is an older house, it didn't have any unpleasant smell inside as older houses often do, everything was sparkling clean. There were lots and lots of shampoo/conditioner/soap packets available for our use, but some of them did look a bit dusty as did a couple of the vents on the ceiling - again this didn't detract from our stay at all, some of these really had more to do with the fact that this is an older place, so don't expect brand new sparkling everything. We loved all of the paintings sprinkled throughout the house, the charming decor items (our toddlers were especially fascinated by the silver dog in front of the fireplace), and the abundant natural light streaming through the windows. Taking strolls through the neighborhood was another draw as there is a dog park and playground just a few short blocks away and restaurants/coffee shops within walking distance. Phillip was also a great host and had no problem letting us drop our stuff off ahead of check-in time, we really appreciate his flexibility and welcoming disposition! Would stay here again.
