David's place was perfect for our family get away. We loved being out of the center of traffic and busy shops but still close to great food, coffee and bike trails. David was a pleasure to communicate with, met us upon arrival to welcome us, put together an excellent guide book with spot-on recommendations and provided a warm and welcoming apartment for our stay. The 1940's smartly updated apartment is on the ground floor of a duplex. David and his family live upstairs and were ready to help us with whatever we needed but also gave us our privacy. The neighborhood had a great feel to it with lots of people walking dogs and exercising. There were so many great restaurants close by. Do your research and make reservations...Austin has a busy food scene. We were thankful to be able to bring our small dog. We loved hanging out on the front porch in the mornings for coffee and in the evenings before dinner. Out of courtesy we tried to keep things quiet after 8pm for David's wee one which I mention in case your thinking of dinner parties or bbq's. If that's the direction you're thinking you might want to check out one of David's other super cool listings. David is a great host and has a nice aesthetic. We weren't ready to leave this little gem of an airbnb. We look forward to staying here again!
