My girlfriend recommend renting a home instead of getting separate hotel rooms for us and our 6 friends, that way we could all be together and have a place to relax and hangout. And that's exactly what we did!
I looked through dozens listings and finally decided on Bryan's. The pictures didn't do his house justice! The furnishings all looked brand new and everything was well cleaned. Everyone thought the house was amazing, it was definitely a highlight of our trip.
Unfortunately Bryan couldn't be there to show us around (he was out of town), but he was sure to let us know ahead of time. There was however a nice lady to greet us when we arrived, showing us the house and answering any questions we had. It went smoothly. We were also left with a nice bottle of wine and a paper with notes and instructions, it was well written and came in handy a few times. I did have some trouble with the WiFi and when I called Bryan, he answered right away and helped me solve the issue.
We were about a 15 minute drive from downtown, which was perfect since we planned on going out both nights. We waited no longer than 15 minutes for an Uber and it cost us around $15 to do so, which wasn't bad. This house could easily entertain for a night and next time we visit Austin, we'll be sure to do so (the speakers throughout the house and patio sealed the deal).
This was my first time using Airbnb and thanks to this house, it won't be my last!
Thanks again Bryan.
