You really can't ask for a more convenient place to stay while in Austin. You can walk or bike to downtown, and there are fabulous restaurants (Josephine House & Jeffrey's, Caffe Medici, Zocalo) and a great little grocery store within three blocks of the house. The house is clean and well-stocked for convenience: soap, shampoo, dish detergent, etc. Our only snafu was that the washing machine was out of order, which required washing some things out by hand and drying them in the dryer.
