Location! Location! Location! Three friends from college spent three nights here to honor our 50th birthdays. We had never been to Austin so could not appreciate just how ideal the location of this home would be until we lived there for a long weekend. We made arrangements to check in at 1 pm and this made it really nice even though we probably could have left our luggage on the back porch unharmed if we had to wait until 4 pm. The house is comfortable, beautifully decorated, spotless, and bright. There are numerous special decor touches that made us feel at home. Not only is this a hip neighborhood that is fun to walk and close to the hopping South Congress Street, but we also found the home to be great for hanging out which was one of the primary reasons we wanted to be in a home and not a hotel. We somehow missed the description of things to do in the house listing when we planned our trip; however, Amy (the other property manager) gave us the low down the day we arrived. Many of her suggestions are in the description, and we didn't have time to check them all out. There is no information inside the house about the property or things to do in the area so the Airbnb listing along with the email you will receive from the property management company are your best resources (wifi passcodes, directions for departure day, etc.). Because I really appreciated the other reviews which helped us plan some of the things to do in advance, I'll share a few things we discovered on our own that made the trip memorable. We ended up at Gueros Taco Bar twice -- once for food and another time for outdoor live music (we loved their queso!). We discovered that the Double Decker Bus has a stop at the South Congress Hotel which is a short walk from the house. We were able to hop on the bus on our first day and get the lay of the land without ever getting into our car. This made it really nice as there is a lot of construction in downtown Austin and the bus is a relaxing and comprehensive way to see the city. There is a "hop on and hop off" option we though we might want but we ended up staying on the tour without getting off the bus. On our second day, we wanted to explore and enjoyed Lady Bird Johnson Wildlife Center which had been highly recommended by Amy. After walking the trails, we took a short drive to Salt Lick BBQ which is amazing. The uber ride from the house to the airport ranged from $21 to $30 during the holiday/marathon weekend of our stay. Overall, a great choice! Thank you Brooke and Amy!
