I had lived in Austin about 15 years ago and wanted to come back to visit and to see old friends. I usually like renting houses instead of getting a hotel room because it's more comfortable and cheaper. I found this little gem. It was going to be my, my sister, and a friend. It had more than enough room for all of us, but my friend wasn't able to come due to the hurricane. The area where the house is was a little questionable but I didn't have any problems at all. It was soo convenient to the highways and to restaurants and shopping, and even though it was the north part of Austin, it did not take long to get to downtown. The house had everything I needed and was beautifully decorated. The king sized bed was very soft, and since I have backaches alot, I was concerned I'd wake up in pain. On the contrary...I slept so comfortably! Rani was very responsive to emails/texts and even let me check-in early. If you're looking for a place to stay with lots of room, convenient to everything, and budget friendly, I would definitely consider Rani's house. Thanks so much for a great stay and the hospitality!
