This is a lovely house that has been fully updated and has all of the conveniences. I was born and raised in South Austin, and this house felt like home to me. The backyard with pool, BBQ grill, and access to Bouldin creek was amazing. I gave it 5 stars for everything but cleanliness only because the outdoor spaces are authentic TX with lots of plant, bug, and bird life, so if you're looking for a sparkling clean, sterile patio, this is not for you. But if you want a real Austin experience, it's perfect. And the inside of the house was sparking clean. The hosts were also rapidly responsive to my questions and make a clear effort to ensure their guests are relaxed and comfortable. There's a full spice rack and coffee station with to go cups in the fully stocked kitchen, so no worries if you forgot the coriander...There's first aid supplies, so if your kid scrapes her elbow (as mine did), there's peroxide, antibiotic ointment and bandaids. If you forgot the bug spray or sunblock, it is provided. Even with my high maintenance kids, I never had to run out to the store to pick up something, which is unheard of in my travels, and was infinitely relaxing. Whatever you need...the house provides : ) I cannot recommend this house enough!!!
