We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Brendan’s place. Our trip was to celebrate Thanksgiving with family residing in the Austin area. Since Brendan’s place is a short hop to I35, it was very easy to get around Austin via the highway system. We also took advantage of being close to Chinatown Center for their dining and grocery shopping. Check-in and check-out were a breeze by having the key in a lockbox. There is a dedicated parking spot for the apartment so I didn’t have to worry about parking issues like some other Airbnb places I have stayed at. The kitchen has a very powerful gas stove which we used to the max to cook dinner. In the living room, there originally was a 32” tv. When I saw Brendan onsite, I mentioned to him that the tv was a bit small. He then informed me that he just purchased a 40” smart tv with Roku Black Friday special and was going to replace it when we checked out. Since we wanted to enjoy my Disney+ subscription on a 40” tv while we were there, Brendan offered to replace it that day while we were out and about which we gladly agreed to. An added plus was the included washer and dryer that we used for laundry as well as fresh hot towels for the newly renovated shower with adjustable shower head. The beds were very comfortable to sleep on especially when we added the comforters stored in the closets. One thing to note is that the bedroom windows are very thin and seem to allow outside noise and air in. Brendan plans on replacing them in the future. If we are visiting Austin again, I would definitely stay at Brendan’s place for the convenience and warm hospitality.
