"Great stay for our family of 7. Clean, bright, easy to navigate. The layout provided private spaces for family members as well as great together-space as well. We enjoyed coffee on the patio, sitting out by the fountain, games at the kitchen table and hanging out in the living room. Great location to enjoy Barton Springs-easy walk. Top notch communication with host who provided suggestions for our stay and made us feel welcome. All around amazing experience!"
