Carol's place is one of the most amazing experiences I have had with AirBnB. Carol is an amazing host who is so much fun to talk to. She has a ton of knowledge about not just stuff to do and where to eat in Austin, but about a lot of things including the local flaura and fauna. We had an extremely pleasant stay here, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Austin.
Location: Carol has a charming little place located in a quiet and safe neighborhood. Grocery stores and food places are only walking distance away (there is a mall at a 10 minute walk). Public transport to downtown and elsewhere is easily accessible as well.
The space: The bedroom was super clean with pretty bedspreads and a well- curated collection of books about Austin and Texas in general. Everything was well-maintained and the air conditioning was pretty great too. The bathroom was also sparkling clean, and had all the essentials that a person would need on a trip. Plenty of towels as well, and a great shower.
The hosts: Both the hosts are great people and Carol was amazing to talk to. Carol added thoughtful little touches including the basics for breakfast, plentiful storage space and even left us a little note on how we could heat up the Tamales we brought back. Bonus - the parrot was really cute too.
Overall, we had a wonderful stay!
P.S. If you're going to be walking back home from the bus stop at night, make sure you bring a flashlight or have your phone flashlight on, since it can get pretty dark in this area at night. It still was pretty safe though.
