Miriam's place exceeded my expectations, and it matched its description perfectly. Miriam was a great host, quick to respond, and accommodating.
The unit itself was a great place to relax- with a living area with plenty of light and comfortable for reading, eating, etc. The modern appliances in the kitchenette were clean and useful; the bathroom had a great shower (with a comfortable bench to sit on, if needed.); a new washer and dryer.) Helpful notes and snacks were provided, as well as well as a filtered water pitcher.
Finally, I appreciated some of the subtle extra care provided. For example, I was out late a couple of nights during my stay. When I got back I appreciated that the stairs were fully lit (they were off when I left.) Of course, I switched them of when I got back in.
Extra: Miriam's place is just a short 20 minute ride to downtown Austin.
The neighborhood is friendly, safe, and there's a great deli within easy walking distance from the apartment.
