The most important thing for this stay was that Valentina and Herb responded to my request in less than an hour. I had to make an emergency trip to Austin and needed a place to stay confirmed quickly. I chose this place because of its location and it was exactly what I wanted. The Barton Hills area of Austin is one of my favorite areas of Austin. It is perfectly located in a scenic area within walking distance to swimming, hiking, biking, boating, restaurants, bars, theaters, art. I loved walking in the friendly neighborhood filled with interesting architecture from historic to mid-century modern to contemporary. My place was comfortable, cool and equipped with all I needed for a relaxing stay. Herb was very attentive to all my needs and he and Valentina even gave me a ride to Trader Joe's for a much needed bottle of wine. They were the most gracious hosts. I look forward to what I hope is a longer stay.
