This location was fantastic!! I was surprised I did not pay more than I did given the location and accommodations. The Airbnb is above the garage and separate from the main house, which affords you privacy. The garage apartment was spacious enough for our needs, very clean, and presentable. I usually cook breakfast and make lunch when I go out of town, so I was very pleased to see plenty of utensils, coffee, cooking supplies, and the like. I also appreciated that there were plenty of toiletries and towels. Many Airbnbs do not have cable tv set up, but this one did which was a lifesaver for the kids as they were able to watch PBS and Disney Junior like they always do.
We went out to eat shortly after arriving and found decent selections down the road. The area is not too far away from shopping and restaurants. It is about 30 minutes from downtown Austin but living in Houston, 30 minutes is on the shorter end of a commute anywhere in the city so that wasn't a big deal to me. The area is very lovely and scenic.
We did not get to meet Jim and Deb but communication was excellent. I don't have any complaints. I highly recommend this Airbnb for the accommodations and the lovely view you have!
