A perfectly appointed location in Central East Austin close to downtown (Sixth St., Capitol, UT) and 5 blocks from amazing local restaurants but still on a quiet street. Can’t say enough good things about this place. Deborah and Bob’s home - and that’s really what it was for, home - was better than described and tailor made for a long stay. It has a super comfortable bed in the master (didn’t sleep upstairs) and cushy linens/towels. Furnished with cool, eclectic furniture in the living area, there is also an awesome custom cut dining table and large, classic Shaker kitchen to enjoy (plus all the cooking utensils you could need). We were delighted with the landscaped backyard and wished the weather would have co-operated so we could sit out (two private parking spaces in the back).
Extras: free wifi, master bedroom tv, as well as, living room (SMART tvs), electronic thermostat, Roku, washer/dryer, large custom shower, tall ceilings, lots of natural light pours in through huge windows, lovely front porch. Lots of room upstairs with more streaming sunlight. We enjoy privacy so having the whole house was exactly what we needed. Quiet neighbors to boot. It’s an ideal place for a group stay or holiday: three large - repeat large - bedrooms and two baths/with 1/2 bath.
Love having a host who keeps you informed! Deborah responded within an hour regularly and communicated everything I needed to know or answered questions. She also provided the basics for cooking, toiletries (even emergency supplies), blow dryers, all the supplies needed (including upkeep items) - her hospitality left us well-prepared. Deborah was also ever so kind about our need for housing - insurance mistake - she showed real compassion when we were in a tough place. Finding a place for both us and our wee-small Yorkie was essential; the hotel life we’d been living was just that - rooms, not a home. Thanks to Deborah and Bob for sharing your space with us.
Deborah and Bob’s place is a well-kept, spacious, lovely, new-build with classic architectural charm in a vibrant area near downtown and the university. Couldn’t ask for more.
