Our stay in Austin at Alice's place was beyond fantastic. Where to start.... Alice is the friendliest person ever! She was the most incredible host and did everything to make our stay incredible. She arranged pick up in the airport by her kind boyfriend, she bought a pack and play and a high chair for our toddler, she came with morning treats (coffee, dougnuts and breakfast tacos), she took a day off to show us around the city, we went out for dinner together, she arranged play dates for our girl, she drove us to the grocery store and she made sure we saw and experienced everything possible within a week. This is the best airbnb experience we've ever had. Alice is like family to us now.
The place is really cute and spacious in a really nice and hip area. North Loop is a bit far from downtown but you can easily get there by car (15 min) or bus (40 min). There's a different and more local feeling there which we really liked. I would definitely stay here again when (hopefully) coming back one day.
