I highly recommend Alyssa's home if you are staying in Austin. From the beginning, Alyssa was very communicative and helpful. I liked that she invited my husband and I into her home almost as friends rather than strangers staying at an Airbnb.
Her home is very stylish and clean in a very nice neighborhood close to downtown. There are restaurants nearby to drive to and also in walking distance. Alyssa took time out of her day to email me many recommendations and the ones we tried were great! That was very kind of her and it made our stay very personal and enjoyable.
We had our own bedroom which was very private, with a shared bathroom. We didn't have to worry about being in each other's way, which was nice. We had full access to the kitchen if we wanted, but we weren't around to cook!
Willie, Alyssa's cat, definitely was one of the highlights of our stay. Ha! Seriously, this cat is so stinkin' cute and friendly. I was actually sad leaving her when we left. If you are an animal lover, you will be very entertained by lil' Willie.
Overall this was an enjoyable experience, one that make Airbnb so special. You cannot get personal touches and a cute cat in a hotel! If the room is available and you are reading this, book your stay with Alyssa and Willie! You will not be disappointed.
