We stayed at Shelby's house for almost 3 months after relocating to Austin from Denver for jobs and family. We really enjoyed the great backyard (and nighttime stargazing) and the neighborhood pool down the street. The kitchen is furnished with the basics, although if you're a foodie you'lll want to bring your own knives. The host was quick to respond to all requests and easy to work with when I needed anything.
The house is located close to lots of amenities - grocery store, movie theatre, easy highway access and restaurants near by. The neighborhood is quiet and safe, with a playscape for kiddos and a great pool for those hot summer days.
