Met up with my best friend from England to have a few relaxing days in Austin as we'd never been there before (he is not getting married in September, so this was not in any way a bachelor weekend:). Loved the apartment, perfect for us. Sofa bed really comfortable. Everything we needed. Loved the little bottles of Topo Chico (a sparkling Mexican water) in the fridge, a beautiful orange Italian SMEG. The neighborhood is wonderful. Initially we thought we would be west of 35 because the GPS location seemed a little off on the airbnb website, but we preferred where we were: close to good music at the White Horse, and good beer at Brew & Brew (I suppose they also sell coffee). We didn't get chance to meet Melissa as I think she was travelling but Dave was super welcoming and helpful. Austin is awesome, especially if you like the outdoor lifestyle. I've never encountered so may fit people, nor a downtown so thankfully devoid of shops.
