Bill's place is wonderful! You can tell that he and his wife enjoy hosting because they've paid attention to every detail. They knew I was in town for my birthday and had a balloon on the door when I arrived. Upon entering the apt. you're greeted by the smell of a freshly cleaned home and quirky sculpture showing you the way upstairs. At the top, the place is simply and tastefully decorated. Everything is top of the line. They've maximized the space with a seating area where you can enjoy the magazines and many books about Austin and the area that they've left to share. There's a kitchen space with coffee and all the fixings and they even stock the fridge with some surprise goodies. The bed and linens are very comfortable and at night you get a view of the congress building downtown. The bathroom, while small, had everything: nice bathrobes, body wash, shampoo & conditioner and very nice towels. In fact, even my husband commented that if might be time for nicer towels at home! It's pretty cute, they even leave a toothbrush and razor in case you've forgotten yours. The proximity to South Congress is perfect. Close enough to walk to everything but far enough to get a quiet night of sleep. Privacy was no issue. I think I saw the homeowners come and go a couple of times but I never met them. However with the handwritten note and fresh flowers they leave, I felt very welcomed. It would be a pleasure to visit Bill's place again.
