The house is a gem. Its glass walls (and one skylight) fill the house with light and the kitchen is well equipped. Both bathrooms are modern and beautiful. Michael was out of the country when we arrived but there was a nice welcoming gift when we got there. Liz and Taylor were on call if we needed anything. Michael still checked in with us by email and promptly responded to our questions. The yard adds an extra dimension with a fire pit ( with wood) and a large dinning table.

The house is located in up and coming East Austin, close to an In and Out Burger, a Starbucks and 2 supermarkets. We found two great restaurants (The Salty Sow and El Chile) and an independent coffee shop (Sa-Ten) not too far away--and its hard not to run into a food truck as you explore the area. It is not very far from all of Austin's major attractions.
