The warm aura feeling we got when pulling up to Amanda’s place is best described by a verse in a Talking Head’s song that says: “Home is where i want to be but I guess I’m already there.”
Amanda’s place felt like HOME to us. The house has super positive vibes & we found it very relaxing and zen. Quaint neighborhood with cute homes close to downtown makes it a super convenient location. Definitely check out Amanda’s recommendations as they are on point! We got takeout at the Cherrywood Cafe (which is within walking distance as well) and I have to tell you that their Cuban sandwich & salad w/ spicy peanut dressing is the bomb! Amanda is a gracious, friendly host that made my family feel welcomed, and she is quick to respond and helpful should you have any questions.
The house was IMMACULATE & so much fun! Pieces of art & fun pieces throughout was eye candy at every turn and in every nook & cranny. Beds were super comfy, too. Lots of fun games & books at your disposal she so generously has on hand for guests to use. The neighborhood is very quiet….sit on the front porch, turn on the fan and as you chill, and you’ll see lots of people out walking by with their dogs. We didn’t bring ours on this trip, but the house has a great yard if you do choose to bring your pooch. The location of the home within the neighborhood gave an almost secluded feel like it was just us. It was very peaceful.
I was sad to see our Austin trip come to an end, as we fell in love with Amanda’s place. We can’t recommend it highly enough & we look forward to staying their again!
