We had a great time in Austin. Having a gated fenced in yard in Austin was really helpful since we brought our dogs. The kitchen is really nice and well stocked. Having full size washer/dryer was also a nice addition. For those not well acquainted with Austin, I would say this location isn't ideal if you want to go for walks directly from the home. It's in an area where lots of homes are being flipped, but it's still a bit run down. I didn't feel unsafe, but it's not a vacation feel. Fortunately, Austin seems to be very easy to drive and park wherever you want to go. We just drove 5 minutes and parked at one of the 50 parking areas on Lady Bird lake. All in all we really enjoyed our stay. Ryan was an excellent host and communication was smooth.
