WORTH EVERY PENNY!
If you're trying to book housing for an event near Zilker Park and value location and convenience, this is the spot you need to reserve.
I've been to a handful of music festivals (inclusive of Coachella and Voodoo) and understand the importance of having a place to stay that will be conducive to a good time without worrying about sitting in traffic every day to get to the venue. I also understand what it's like to try and secure place during the first day of ticket sales and find myself paying thousands of dollars for an event-sponsored hotel. So finding this place and securing it in time was such a blessing.
The whole reservation process was made easy. Amber was very communicative and her response time was always within minutes if not the hour.
Check-in was SEAMLESS and it helped that the airbnb is attached to Amber's home. It made it super easy for us to reach her with questions or coordinate things like parking to avoid getting towed. Upon check-in, there was a warm note waiting, welcoming us and Amber had gone so far as to pick up a few snacks for us.
The house is exactly as it's advertised. You could jog to and from Zilker in about 5 minutes and there are tons of restaurants and bars that line the road coming to and from the park. If you're traveling in a small group, seriously, BOOK THIS PLACE! You won't regret it. Throughout the weekend I kept hearing awful stories about my other friends' struggle to get to and from the park with the madness of ubers or carpooling or attempts to find parking. The word that people kept using when we told them how close we were was "clutch." Every night as we made our way back to Amber's, there would always be a hoard of people standing around on the street corner outside, waiting on rides and we would just smuggly walk into our place ready to start the next day.
Thank you Amber for your wonderful hospitality!!!
