My week at Patrick and Catherine's place was part business trip, part vacation, and their house was perfect for both. The house is in a quiet, tree-lined neighborhood west of downtown and north of Barton Springs. A grocery store, pharmacy, and several restaurants are located within a couple of blocks, and a Whole Foods is only about a 12 to 15 minute walk away. Downtown is another 15 minutes beyond that, which was all perfect for this walker. The house itself is a very comfortable historic home. Guests have a private entrance, large living area, and a bedroom and bathroom to themselves - so quite a lot of square footage. In addition, it's super clean and well appointed, with a bed I wanted to take home with me. Both hosts are very friendly and made me feel immediately at home. We typically touched base about once a day, and it was clear they wanted to make my stay as comfortable as possible. The next time I'm headed to Austin I plan to look Patrick and Catherine's listing up first. Five stars all the way!
