I enjoyed a wonderful few days at St. Elmo Getaway and Play. The place was immaculate, beautifully appointed and equipped, and perfectly located for my needs. Honestly, I could have arrived with my toothbrush in my pocket and gotten along without further needs. The hostess Paula was congenial and communicated just enough to make me feel welcome without imposing. Example: the internet went down briefly and mysteriously (as is usually the case). I contacted Paula through Airbnb, and she was on it in a flash! Together, we had it restored promptly.
No hotel or motel could have afforded me the comfort and privacy I enjoyed on this stay. I liked it so much that I am hesitant to submit this response; I want it to be available for me the next time I visit Austin.
