Staying with Denise was an absolute delight, and our best Airbnb experience yet! The house is clean and cozy, and in a great location for walking to East Austin bars (East Side Show Room, Wonderland, The White Horse) and eateries (Hillside Farmacy, Mettle, Blue Dahlia). We didn't have a car, but Ubers from the house were affordable.

Denise provided us with such amenities as local beers in the fridge; Keurig coffees and teas; English muffins for breakfast; freshly washed towels; fresh, high quality bath products; and a bouquet of gardenias in our room since she'd just finished painting the walls and was mindful of the smell. The house has a lot of Austin character, and the backyard is a treasure, though we sadly didn't get a chance to enjoy it too much since we were mostly out and about. Denise has two excitable dogs, but as someone who isn't a dog person, I was grateful that she kept them in her bedroom as much as possible (especially in the mornings). My one note would be that the bed was extremely soft, so if you're one of those people who can't sleep or can't function the next day if you've slept on a soft mattress, than this bed might not be the one for you. Other than that, I can only say terrific things about this stay. Denise has the perfect combo of "my house is your house" and B&B mentality (she told us she's spent a lot of time in B&Bs before, and it shows). I would definitely book here again if I'm back in Austin!
