I loved my stay at Kim's studio. When we arrived it was clean and smelled amazing. She starts her guest's stay off great and is very sweet and thoughtful. There was coffee, cream and sugar, tea, orange juice and some EastCiders (which I've missed since leaving Austin a year ago). There was also some other little snacks as well and I really appreciated that I didn't have to pack toiletries (shampoo, conditioner and shower gel). Kim actually sent me a message and let me know she'd noticed the shower gel was low and she'd left more on the front step. Our shower the first night was quite luke warm but I reached out to Kim and her response to fix the issue was awesome! After I brought it to her attention the next shower was hot and perfect. In regards to location, the home is located right across from a school and I'm not sure if there was a 1/2 day/event during our stay but I went to leave around 11:45am on Monday and the street was essentially blocked by parents. However, when we checked out on Tuesday there was no issue, which was strange. The home is a quick drive from downtown but I would not personally walk around.
