The location of the house is very close to downtown Austin and so convenient to many travel sites. The neighborhood is interesting and mixed, and house values reflect its location to downtown Austin. A couple of the neighboring houses are being remodeled and are two million-dollar plus houses. According to Zillow this particular property is worth $1 million, however, it is clear that is for the land and not the house.
My wife was distraught when she saw the inside. It was not unclean, but neither was it spick-and-span clean. The bathrooms are very old with limited shelf space. There are two bedrooms and a loft. Our kids stayed up in the loft but whenever they walked it was very noisy downstairs. There is one television in the living room. The kitchen does have pots and pans and is fairly well-equipped.
The house is probably ideal for a group of college aged males who, as a general rule, probably care less about refined living. The rent is reasonable for the size and location, but if you are looking for something classy, tasteful, or elegant, steer clear of this house.
The owner was very helpful in terms of communication. Our family would not stay there again. If I were back in college and planning a trip to Austin with a bunch of guys, this place would be high up on the list.
