Perfect for a family holiday

The house is well located and well furnished, with state of the art appliances in the kitchen and living room. Plenty of kitchen utensils and linen, no need to bring anything. The location is exclusively residential, in a quiet area of tree-lined streets. It is however close to the main highways going north, south, east and west, so that mobility is very easy (about 15/20 mins to downtown by car). Shopping for basics (supermarket, drugstore, pharmacy etc.) is just a few blocks away. The owners are very attentive and in our case even provided a few grocery items (bread, milk, eggs etc.) when learned that we would move in immediately after a long flight from overseas. It was perfect for our family gathering around Christmas and New Year.

We reserved this house for ACL weekend 2011 and were very happy with it. We had our 5 month old daughter with us as well as another couple. it was very clean and well stocked. They even had a pack n play and a high chair (the exact same as the one we use at home even) there for our use. The drive to Zilker park down Mopac was easy and quick and very convenient for us since we had VIP parking that was directly off of Mopac. Many restaurants and lots of shopping right down the street. The chickens in the backyard (in a fenced in coop) cracked us up and the flowers on the counter when we arrived were a very nice touch.

PERFECT FAMILY HOUSE!

My son got married in Austin over Memorial Day weekend. I needed a house that would be comfortable for 8 family members. This house fit the bill perfectly. They had plenty of room so each person could have their "space." Kitchen was well equipped. Having the 4 chickens in the back yard added to the fun, especially for the kids in the family. Enjoyed the fresh eggs. VRBO photos show the house exactly the way it is in person. The rest of the family rented another house in the Allandale neighborhood, 6 blocks away. Allandale is a great central location, close to everything! I would not hesitate to rent this house again.
