My husband and I stayed in Billy's rental for a long weekend trip to Austin over July 4th. It was absolutely perfect for our needs and so very peaceful.
Billy's directions made it very easy for us (and our Uber drivers) to locate. The rental is centrally located between South Congress, downtown, and East downtown, so we were less than a 10 minute Uber from all of our activities. We could even walk to Terry Black's and Zilker Park. Billy was very flexible with the check in and check out times, and we were able to park in the driveway directly in front of the rental. These factors alone made Billy's rental a better value than most hotels in the area.
Even though Billy has dogs, we never heard them. The neighborhood is quiet and residential - perfect for relaxing. I am always concerned about air conditioning (especially in the July heat), but the unit stayed very cool and there were no restrictions on our use of the a/c. If you are sensitive to light, bring your eye mask - there are plenty of privacy curtains over the door, but no way to block light from the clerestory windows at the top of the east wall. If you are traveling with a partner, be wary that the sliding bathroom door is not quiet. The queen bed was sturdy, firm, and supportive (my preference). We got use out of the mini refrigerator, but would have also used a microwave to reheat leftovers if one were available. We also appreciated the filtered water pitcher. Overall, a peaceful little space in a fantastic location that offers great value for the area. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.
