Alles was helemaal in orde. Schoon en netjes. Locatie is echt top omdat het dichtbij de winkels en restaurants van South Congress av. ligt. We hebben een fijne tijd gehad tijdens SXSW, dus ook downtown is prima bereikbaar.

Had a great stay! Came with my husband, ten month old, and mother in law for the marathon. We were pleasantly surprised that the house was bigger than the pictures made it seem. Never felt cramped. Great location, super walkable to congress st. but in a quiet location
