We really enjoyed our stay in Austin and fell in love with the area surrounding this little home. Walking trails and bike paths are steps away leading you to amazing parks and trails along the river. We enjoyed taking our pup out on the trails every morning.
The area is more residential, so we did wish that there were a few more restaurants or cafes to walk to. However, we enjoyed the convenience of the market next door & it was a 15-20 minute walk or short bike ride to a few food trucks & a yummy juice bar. Everything in the whole city is a short drive away and the reserved parking spot right outside made it easy to go back and forth to explore.
If you work from home, there is a desk and a desk chair. Wifi was always strong. We also used the dining table as a second desk which worked well (the shelves behind it make a super cute Zoom background). It is a first floor apartment in a smaller building, so you can sometimes hear and see the neighbors outside. We know with an older HOA building, there are sometimes interruptions that are out of the hosts control. Theresa made sure we were in the know and quickly took care of any concerns. All of the neighbors were all super sweet and friendly. We always felt safe and comfortable.
Our only feedback from being on the first floor was wanting the ability to keep the blinds open and let natural light in while working from home without wanting neighbors or workers in the complex walking by to be able to see in.
Overall, Theresa was a lovely accommodating host. We booked the day we needed to move in and she quickly got us set up and settled in for a month stay. She communicated quickly and frequently throughout the whole month. She did a lovely job decorating and you can tell she put a lot of care into making the home an enjoyable experience. She even had a welcome guide for pups!
I would definitely recommend this location.
