In the midst of the COVID-19 shutdown, Austin's place was sanctuary as I figured out how to get back home from my trip in Texas. The unit I stayed in is a spacious apartment in the Serranto Apartments, a pleasant, gated community. The amenities include a washer and dryer, and the Roku TV was a nice touch, especially in a dismal time where everything in Austin, Texas was closed. Better still, the Serranto Apartments are within delivery distance of amazing restaurants, like Snooze an A.M. Eatery, who make a killer eggs benedict and sweet potato pancakes. In hindsight, I wish I could've stayed at this Airbnb under better circumstances, but I sincerely appreciate having been able to take shelter in one as hospitable and homely as this one.
