We really enjoyed our stay at Michael and Emily's place. FIrst, although the pictures of the home are accurate, the apartment is even more gorgeous in person. It has a soaring cathedral ceiling which allows abundant natural light to flow through the space, making it a bright, airy, and absolutely lovely place to stay. Second, Michael and Emily offered thoughtful touches throughout the apartment, such as snacks, coffee/tea, and soda/water in the refrigerator, toiletries in the bathroom, bug spray on the porch, and lights along the walkway leading from the street to the front door. Third, the home is well-located, close to Lady Bird Lake, a few blocks from numerous restaurants and shops in the Cesar Chavez/East 6th Street area, and about a 10 minute drive to downtown Austin. Finally, Michael and Emily are very caring hosts. Michael went out of his way to contact me directly to make sure that we had our door access code prior to our arrival so that we weren't stuck outside during the torrential downpour that was happening when we got to town. If we are ever fortunate enough to return to Austin, we would be happy to stay here again!
