The house is dated, but is beautifully decorated that adds a modern touch. Although there is an AC, the house was fairly warm throughout the day and night. We have stayed in Austin several times during the summer and have experienced cooler homes. The backyard was unkept; our dog got several stickers every time she went out to potty. The house is clean but there are lots of creepy crawlers in and outside of the house, including spiders and black roaches. Karis was always available and easy to contact. Overall, our stay was fair.
