I am rating this at 5 stars because Ben was incredibly accessible and nice regarding everything from start to finish. The Airstream is a cool addition, though we only used it to hang out in. Make sure you realize that is the 5th bedroom/3rd bathroom. We came during Spring Break and the yard was definitely not like the photos. Furniture was all covered, there’s now a protective fence around the pool, and it definitely wasn’t as lush (probably prettier later in Spring). But, we really booked mainly for the heated pool — unfortunately, the heater kept malfunctioning throughout the stay so we didn’t get to swim nearly as much as we wanted. Ben was great at fixing it each time, but we would make sure it was working before exploring Austin and would only realize it malfunctioned when we returned. By then, it was often too late to heat enough for us all to enjoy. As far as the accommodations, the beds were comfortable. There is only a TV in the living/kitchen area. And, there are no dressers to store clothing (only some small nightstands and luggage holders). Kitchen, though small, had plenty of dishes/pans and utensils and there are grocery stores nearby. There is no dishwasher or garbage disposal. The back bedroom/bathroom are not controlled by the thermostat in the unit. Since we like to keep it cooler at night, we closed that area off and only used the front 3 bedrooms.
If it’s raining (which it did one day during our trip) just keep in mind that the stairs are in the backyard and you have to park on the street out front. And, lastly, there is a washer/dryer, but you need to coordinate that with Ben. It’s downstairs in their part of the house.
The location was close to everything in South Austin.
