How to describe such a lovely stay...
From the minute I booked my stay, communication with Chris and Tee was prompt, friendly, and informative. Tee emailed me within minutes of booking and was at the ready with suggestions and recommendations about things to do in the area (even with the craziness of Covid).
Their home is delightful. It is comfortable and homey with thoughtful touches throughout. It was spotlessly clean... and I mean that in a way that you actually notice how clean things are. Not a spot of dust or morsel of dirt. The bed is luxuriously comfortable with pillows to spare.
Checking in was a breeze and later that day I got to meet my hosts, who were just as delightful as the home they provided. Tee is quite possibly the friendliest Australian I've ever met, and that's saying a lot with how friendly those Aussies are, and Chris is a Texan through and through who was even willing to share some freshly smoked barbecue that he just happened to have done that day.
All in all, if you're looking for a place to stay in Austin I can't recommend a better spot to lay your head at night or cook up a dinner, either in the well appointed kitchen or the barbecue in back. It was warm enough during the day to enjoy the hammock and cool enough in the evening to appreciate a brisk walk down to the riverside which is well within walking distance of their house. Plus, extra points for being just a few blocks away from Whip In, which is a beer drinker's heaven in the area.
I'll be back again. Fingers crossed this place is available...
