Bill's was the best Airbnb my husband and I have ever stayed at. His place is beautiful and Bill is a fantastic host. We spent a week over Christmas 2015. (Bill went out of his way to accommodate our needs, such as accepting packages that were xmas gifts.)

Bill's apartment is spacious, with two beautiful bedrooms (with well-appointed jack-and-jill bathroom, very comfortable mattresses, and black-out drapes), three large screen TVs, lovely Jonathan Adler furnishings, and gorgeous artwork that I completely coveted. Outside is a tranquil private pool with cozy and chic patio furnishings.

The kitchenette is perfect for those of us who prefer to dine out, with a small fridge, microwave, dishes, and Nespresso machine, such a thoughtful addition.

The apt is not just quiet and elegant, it's also located in a terrific area of Austin. (And FAR better than the Four Seasons down the street with noisy children running thru the lobby and $39 a day parking fee.) Bill's place is just a stroll from the famous S Congress street, lined with cute boutiques and restaurants (try the outstanding South Congress Cafe) and convenient small grocery. We had a rental car 4 of our 7 days but really didn't miss the car on the days we didn't have it.

All in all, we had a Christmas to remember at Bill's Airbnb in Austin. Highly recommended.
