This is a great place close to downtown Austin. You can walk to just about every major attraction in Austin. The bars on 6th Street (with tons of awesome live music) are only a 10 minute walk. The Texas State Capital Building is down the street. There is easy access to Austin city bike rentals to ride on some great pedestrian/cycling trails along the river. The actual place was super clean. It has everything you need! Rachel is a great host. She provided all the essentials! I would highly recommend it!
