My family and I stayed at Larry's house for a week long vacation in Austin, and it was awesome! Larry was super kind, communicative, gave us tons of local recommendations, and even filled the fridge with some food and drinks before we got there.
The house felt like a home, had plenty of space for all 5 of us, gave us a chance to relax (on the back sun deck) and even allowed us to make our own food in the well equipped kitchen. Other perks: The wifi is fast. There is a lot of natural sunlight. Has its own driveway (plenty of street parking too). Sits right off of 1st street, with other homes lining the street, so it's very safe. It's close to dtown and pretty much anywhere you need to get around to. Bus stop is around the corner. Torchy's tacos is a 2 min walk and they make incredible tacos (we had them 3 out of 5 days).
Overall, this house (and Larry's accommodation) made our first collective family trip to Austin, feel like a home away from home. Gotta love Airbnb and a great host. Always better than a couple of stuffy hotel rooms. High fives all around. :-)
