A pleasant little house in walking distance to downtown Austin - for me that means 1-2 miles. There are even a handful of interesting bars and restaurants within a couple of blocks. The nearby highway exchange provides noticeable background noise, but with windows closed at night, I couldn't hear a thing. Comfy bed and lots of towels. Coffeemaker with filters and coffee provided. The house is shady and well-insulated (and has A/C of course), so should be cool in the summer. Doug was readily available to answer questions.
