For a group of friends or a small family looking to spend a weekend in Austin, this location is next-to perfect.
The 3 bedroom layout with a small backyard is ideal for some rest and relaxation. The hosts keep the place very clean. It's a short mile walk across the highway into downtown Austin, which is truly beautiful. There are TONS of food trucks and local food options around the area as well.
When you first arrive, you'll notice that the front gate needs some repair. But that is not indicative of the rest of the residence. The inside is well kept and clean with a beautiful back porch to enjoy if the weather cooperates. There is a good amount of foot traffic in the neighborhood, even late into the night, but that's not uncommon in a city like Austin.
All-in-all, my friends and I enjoyed our stay during the Austin Triathlon. We were the perfect distance from the action in downtown, not right on top of it, but not too far away. There are some cosmetic issues that could be improved, like the front gate and picnic table. But these were so minor that they had no negative impact on our stay. We would absolutely stay here again.
