The response time from owner for booking was almost 24 hours, after I sent an additional email at 23 hours. The response time for other communication was delayed, sometimes more than 24 hours.
The home has been lovingly renovated and there are many nice touches. It is clean and nicely stocked. It is near many local, eclectic spots, and not too far from most attractions in SW Austin. My husband and I felt very comfortable inside this older updated duplex. Occasionally we heard the neighbors, but it was not really an issue. Inside is as shown in photos.
However, the main reason we rented this particular home was because they allowed pets. It is great inside for pets, as the home has vinyl planking throughout. The downside is the yard. It is on a relatively busy street and has very limited space in the front yard. Also, due to the large amount of rain lately, the weeds were pretty tall. We were able to walk across the street and up and down the sidewalk. The backyard is very shaded with no grass, and the access is under/behind the unit. We used it twice in 6 days. Fortunately we took a large flashlight for evening walks on the sidewalk.
If you are looking for a long term rental, and don't have pets, I would consider this one. With pets that need a yard or place to walk, maybe not. I feel that the price we paid was over and above what should have been paid once we saw the yard and neighborhood. The street is often busy, and near a very busy cross street. Be sure and get the address and choose for yourself. Compared to other vacation homes we have rented, not a top contender.
