Lovely property, we were in Austin visiting our daughter and family, the house was ideal and very central so we were 15 mins from Lost Creek where she lives and 15 mins from downtown. All needs met, lovely yard area, we didn’t cook but everything you would need seemed to be there. Will definitely use this as a base for future visits.
Exactly as advertised, comfortable and stylish decor, host was very friendly and easy to communicate with, and everything about staying here was a breeze!
