Melissa is a great host and the house is a perfect oasis--king size bed, full kitchen, private deck(, and, my favorite, a washer and dryer). It's located in a quiet neighborhood ideally positioned for easy access north, south, east, or west in Austin by car. It's also just two walking blocks from two of my favorite places in Austin: Juiceland for smoothies in the morning and Pool Burger for burgers and tiki drinks in the evening, and, if you're there in the warmer months, spring-fed Deep Eddy pool. All this at an incredibly reasonable rate. Do yourself a favor and book it now!
