My family of four adored our staycation! We live in town and needed other accommodations during renovations at home. It even accommodated a pair of houseguests we'd invited before we knew we weren't going to be in our own home. Everyone was impressed! The house, as you can tell, is adorable and beautifully, comfortably, quirkily furnished. As our guest said, "This is exactly what you dream of when you look for an Air BnB!" It's magical destination that I promise is in no way like your own home, no matter how cool yours might be. The location, I can vouch as a long-time Austinite, is spectacular. If I invented a perfect launch pad location for a true Austin experience, this would be exactly it. First, It's walking distance to multiple high-end restaurants as well as funky Austin-y inexpensive eateries. Our group enjoyed the heck out of walking to schmancy dinners at Elizabeth Street Cafe, Lenoir, and Sway; cheap breakfast tacos at La Mexicana Bakery, coffee and tofu scramble at Bouldin Creek Coffeehouse and soup and grilled cheese from the Soup Peddler; and ridiculously decadent dessert at Gourdough's and Dolce Neve. You're also right next to all of S. Congress's nightlife, shopping, and eye candy. It's only a short drive or bike ride to downtown, the Capitol, Ladybird Lake and its hike/bike trail, Zilker Park and Barton Springs Pool, UT, and S.Lamar's and S.1st Street's awesome vintage and artisan shopping. My houseguest even went full-out Austin and walked over to get a quick haircut at Bird's Barbershop, complete with cold beer. The A/C is delightful and effective! - that's key when you rent in August in Austin! And the off-street parking for two to even three vehicles on the property is a rare and coveted attribute for this neighborhood. All three beds are actively scrumptious deep Tempurpedic mattresses with lots of memory-foam pillows. We all slept so well. The highlight of the bathrooms - which are all great - is the ginormous soup-bowl tiled tub, practically a tiny swimming pool. Made for fun couple-soaking when kids weren't there, and fun kiddo baths when they were. The cherry on top is Molly, the host, who is as adorable and thoughtful as one could ever hope a host could be. She and I ended up text-chatting about her great art (both her collection and her own fantastic work, which is throughout the house) and in no time flat she was a friend. :-) She won our hearts by sending us a delivery of warm cookies through Tiff's Treats. (My only caution is that if you're the sort of person who might blush at seeing some (tastefully) painted semi-nudes, this is probably not the house for you. My young teens are used to having art around and not fazed in the least, but more conservative folks might be embarrassed. Honestly, it's the only downside I can foresee for anyone.) This is the perfect location to use as a base when visiting Austin. I'd be...
