The Arete Stay is an absolutely beautiful, well maintained, and comfortable place to stay. Reasonably secluded so as to avoid nosy neighbors, yet still in the middle of Austin with easy access to major roads.
The outside decks are beautiful and inviting to sit on. Wildlife regularly meanders through the front yard. The backyard is quiet and is a lovely place to have a bbq, with the included grill.
The house itself is spacious. There is a very useful kitchen and dining area. The living room is big and open, allowing a lot of people to ait around the coffee table. The bedrooms are nice, and the masterbedroom has an enormous bathroom. The other bathroom is still spacious enough for any use.
Anytime we needed anything, such as additional dish soap, the owners were REMARKABLY prompt - showing up at the house in less than 5 minutes!
Overall everyone was extremely happy with our stay, and we cannot recommend the Arete Stay enough!
