If you're looking for a clean, safe, comfortable place to stay located on South Congress in the heart of Austin, this is the place! Six of us came from all over the country for a "Braniff Airlines reunion". We all worked in reservations and ticket counters through the 70's to the early 80's and some of us hadn't seen each other since those days.
There are many good aspects to this Airbnb... It's only about 15 minutes from the Austin Airport. Shops, live music venues and indoor and outdoor restaurants line the street and at the end is the Capital Building. The condo has onsite parking, a full size washer and dryer, is roomy and quiet and amenities include a saline pool, workout room and game room.
We chose to do an air-conditioned 2 1/2 hour tour which took us all around Austin, through the Texas State Cemetery, into the "Silicone Hills", up above the river for an amazing view, to a cafe on the river, on to Barton Springs pool and finished at the Driskill Hotel. This historic hotel was built in 1886 with all the charm and splendor of that era. We highly recommend a tour so you can see some 'hidden' parts of Austin, it's such a beautiful, eclectic and historic city! We also went kayaking on Lady Bird Lake and of course ate lunch at Terry Black's Barbecue! We'll be back!
