A small group stayed here for SXSW, we wanted a place that was close enough to the conference center that it as a quick Uber or taxi ride, while also having a sense of home away from home for some rest and relaxation.
This is a spacious house with an enormous yard, so plenty of room to spread out. Beds were very comfortable and house has plenty of necessary amenities (though we could not find extra toilet paper for the life of us!). Host was very responsive to our questions, but communication style felt a bit terse at times, which didn't really make us feel welcome.
The hot tub was great, but we weren't aware that there was regularly scheduled cleaning, so we arrived home one night to a cleaning crew in our yard and we were both equally surprised to see each other! The cleaning puts the hot tub out of commission overnight, which was a bit of a bummer that I wish we'd been aware of when we booked.
House is on a busy road, as others have mentioned before. If you're a light sleeper, the room closest to the road can be difficult, particularly in the early morning. But rest of the house doesn't get affected by the noise, including the backyard. If you are driving, note that it can be tricky to get out of the driveway with oncoming traffic, you will have to be a bit aggressive!
Note that when the listing says security cameras on property, that there is one monitoring the parking in front, and another that is pointed directly at the hot tub in the backyard. I completely understand the hosts desire for security, as it's clear in the listing that this house has regularly been booked for events, but we felt a bit uncomfortable about the positioning of that camera, especially the women in our group.
All in all, if you're looking for a house to throw an event (following the hosts requirements, of course), or if you're looking for a landing pad to tour Austin from, then this is a great place. If you're looking for something that feels like someone's home, you may find this place feeling a bit staged.
