While on our month long adventure (with kids and dogs) we wanted to stay in Austin where my husband grew up and lived for 30+ years and where I went to high school. This place was a great location to visit everything we wanted to see. It was cozy and homey and we were able to relax after many days of steady travel. Hosts were responsive and we had zero issues. One note: the yard is not an enclosed yard. We assumed it from the pic (our bad) so were a bit disappointed that we couldn't just let the dogs out to pee. On the plus side, it got me out of bed early in the morning to walk them before the heat of the day... which, come to think of it, started around 8am. Ug. Summer in Austin. This California girl forgot how hot it can get. Thanks for a great place at a reasonable price!
