If you have no interest in being able to walk into the downtown of Austin then this house can work for you. It is in a quiet neighborhood, and the hosts expect you to be considerate of your neighbors. This was not a problem for this group. But if you wanted to spend considerable time out in the back yard and have music and people gathering then this might not work. It also backs up to a car dealership which is noisy during the day. The house itself serves its purpose. We were able to celebrate Thanksgiving there and find most things needed for cooking. The sleeper sofa is not comfortable( but what ones ever are)? There are fans in only 2 rooms which makes the others tough to get cool at night. Everyone did rave about how comfortable the beds were. The house does come with Wi- Fi which is really helpful when you are researching all the great places to see and do in Austin. Overall, the great service by Jenny made this house seem fine. Lets be real, who comes to Austin and stays inside??
