Gigi’s place is amazing. I have stayed with her before, at her larger house, and loved it. I booked this one for me, my spouse, and my two elementary-aged kids because the other was already booked. We were SOO happy with this unit. It is visually stunning and also comfortable and well-appointed.
The kitchen is full of the pots and pans you’d need, a great stove, coffee maker, and a large fridge for all of our take-out. Even though we were four, we never felt cramped. The main room has a dining table, two reading chairs, a desk, a trundle bed/couch, and a fabulous recliner. I called the recliner my own and read two books lounging in it.
The bedroom’s main bed is so comfortable! The bathroom is perfect and the shower has great water pressure.
We also used the small patio to sit and talk and read.
But, the best part of this place is Gigi (and her dog, Betty). Gigi is kind and curious, full of fascinating stories and great local recommendations. Since we live dogs, we let Betty come in and lounge with the kids, which always made their day.
As others have mentioned, Gigi’s place is perfectly located for less than a mile’s walk to South Congress and other spots like Bouldin Creek Cafe(highly recommend) and Home Slice Pizza!
Anyone who stays here is lucky, and Gigi’s place is where we’ll always stay when in Austin!
