Our stay at Lucy’s place was amazing. If we come back to Austin, we would love to stay here again. She is easily the best Airbnb host we’ve ever had.
For context, my wife and I made a last minute effort to evacuate from New Orleans ahead of Ida. We booked our reservation the day before and Lucy was extremely communicative right from the get go, which was incredibly reassuring given the stressful circumstances we were under.
The house was perfect to accommodate us and our two dogs. It is a very spacious mid century modern home and has a large fenced in yard. We kept our dogs on a leash because one of ours can be a crafty escape artist, but if you have a larger dog you are good. Halfway through our trip we were able to extend our stay a few extra days without issue. Lucy mentions accurately in her description of the property that there are some projects she is working on, such as a fixing a few floorboards in one of the living rooms . We found this to be minor and it did not bother us one bit.
The house was well stocked with all of the amenities we needed. We were even able to do laundry midway through the trip which was a blessing given that we had only packed for what we thought would be a short stay.
Lucy was very accessible and offered up great suggestions of what to see and eat while there. I’d probably suggest having a car to get around versus walking, but we did see a bus stop down the street. Uber’s and Lyfts are also plentiful.
We’d like to thank Lucy and Ed for being such generous hosts. You are both kind hearted people and we feel fortunate to have been able to stay at your place during a trying time. The laughs and pleasant conversations definitely eased our stress from the Hurricane.
