This was the perfect location for a long weekend in Austin with friends. The neighborhood is quiet and lovely. We walked to South Congress everyday to grab food, drinks, and do some shopping. There was also an art fair in the area while we were there. The house was spacious, clean, and met all our needs. The only issues we ran into were our code not working at check in which was immediately resolved and some of our showers being cold which has been stated in a previous review. Other than that, it was better than expected and we would stay again!
