This place is SUCH A GEM! The decor is gorgeous, the renovation of the whole property is so cute, and it feels like a little oasis away from downtown Austin. The hosts pay attention to all the little details and little extras. They have toothpaste, a toothbrush, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, lotion, ibuprofen, and more! They provide coffee, tea, and creamer - and two spots for luggage with hangers. You've got the iron and ironing board as well.
The place is decorated SO WELL. Super cute and so Austin. :) Also, the bed is GLORIOUS. A great foam mattress and super comfortable pillows. The window unit AC works really well thankfully too because the weather was so confusing when I was there. Being able to login to my Netflix was clutch - just give the TV a little time to warm up. Loved that the place was in perfect distance for Postmates too - super helpful because there isn't any restaurants in walking distance.
The ONLY downfall was location, but totally worth the value. It's about a $10 Lyft ride to downtown which isn't that bad (and still saving a TON of money vs. downtown hotels). You're in an up and coming neighborhood that's totally safe, and this place is totally renovated and super stylish. There are super loud barking dogs across the road (they're selling the house though so that's probably not a long-term issue) and you are right in the flight path of the airport. There is good insulation to the host's side of the house BUT not great insulation to the outside noise. I woke up each night to airplanes and one night to a firetruck siren (there's a fire station nearby). Totally not the host's fault or in their control but something to know if you're a light sleeper - I'm not so I would definitely come back!
Thanks Lala - I had such a great stay!
