The studio is in the perfect location for anyone looking to be close to everything Austin has to offer (the paths around Lady Bird lake are about a half mile away, shopping on South Congress Street, EastSide Bars, Zilker Park, etc.). Having Cenote right next to the building made it easy to grab coffee and breakfast in the morning (food was outstanding...wish we had time to go back for lunch/dinner). While my husband and I were familiar with Austin, we hadn't visited in three years. Most AirBnBs we've stayed in have had a welcome book with tips and recommendations...I would have loved one of these so we could see what was new and worthy of exploring.
The studio itself was nice, but not quite what we had expected from the photos, which I'm guessing were taken some time ago? There seems to have been some wear and tear/age on the interior, so while it isn't as new/fresh as it looks in the photos, it was still comfortable. The main stairwell was dirty and the door to this main entry was always left open. Shannon did note that it was typically left open (and that they had never had problems with crime), but could be dead-bolted if we preferred. It wasn't a huge deal, but could be a bit discomforting. Also, the kitchen sink dripped constantly...
Off-street parking was included and a huge bonus.
