This place was great!
*LOCATION - It's 2 blocks away from 6th street (the main bar/live music district), and about a 15 minute walk to the capitol. We walked to both these places several times during our 6 day visit and it we always felt safe. We did make an effort to stay on the main streets though. We ordered a Lyft to go to Rainey street, another nightlife district, but you could walk there if you wanted (sort of far though). There's countless places to eat within walking distance, so you could park you car for your whole trip.
*LIVING SPACE - Excellent, more than we expected. The building is new, so everything is clean and working. We even had a balcony, which was cool. The house was well stocked (kitchen utilizes, dishes, papertowels, bath towels, etc), we didn't need to bring any items from home. There's a fresh market within walking distance too, with a full size fridge and range we made breakfast every morning. We had a king size bed, several pillows, ceiling fans, full kitchen, 2 TVs, couch and kitchen table. Internet isn't included, but we used our phones as hotspots. Downstairs they have a gym, shuffleboard, wii games, and classic arcade games (pac-man, etc). Upstairs on the roof, they have an "infini pool" and a firepit. The front desk is staffed 24/7, and they're always friendly & knowledgeable.
*OWNER COMMUNICATION - We had no problems with our stay so didn't really need to contact the owner. I did reach out to her and let her know that we got in ok, and she responded quickly.
*PARKING - Parking is $30/day, so be sure to consider that in to your cost when booking. The garage is secure, and you can come and go as many times as you please using your room key. The garage is located on the first few floors of the building, so it was convenient.
Overall, this place is 5/5. It's new and very clean, close to everything and reasonably priced. We would definitely stay here again if we're in Austin.
