We loved our week-long stay in Chris' Airbnb! The property is pure Austin charm - think vintage Texas touches like leather seats, eclectic artwork and - of course - a well-stocked Topo Chico fridge! In line with keeping Austin weird, there was a pet goat, Pumpkin, in the back yard also! Pumpkin was super chill and quiet and very friendly, and has her own section of yard that doesn't impact your Airbnb space. We worked virtually during our stay and the internet was blazing fast - it was actually far faster than the hotel we stayed at in Austin for the weekend after. There are also multiple desks throughout so it's easy for two people to work also (important for us). The bed was really comfortable also and the room has a nest thermostat with A/C to keep you cool in summer.
The location of this Airbnb is superb also. Turn left and walk five minutes and you're at the heart of South Congress - all the famous dining places like home slice, torchys and more are right there. Turn right and you're at the welcome to Austin mural with food truck parks, Bouldin Creek cafe and more.
We also loved meeting Chris, our Airbnb host. He made our stay and is a classic Airbnb and Austin connoisseur. He is an Austin guy through and through and everyone and anyone in Austin. He went over and above on our stay - meeting us personally at the place to show us around, giving us a ten minute tour of the neighbourhood in his car to help get our bearings, and recommended some awesome restaurants to dine at. Most memorable of all was he asked us what our fave color was, and changed the smart lights on the porch to match! Was pretty funny coming home to that. Thanks Chris for an awesome stay, we hope to stay again!
