We stayed at Blaine's house for 2 months, and it was by far our best Airbnb experience yet (we've stayed in many all over the world). The house is in a great location -- quiet, close to everything in South Austin, and easy access to freeways and shopping. The house has a super cool vibe -- we particularly enjoyed winding down for the night in the solarium with a tea or cocktail!
During our stay, Blaine responded quickly to our requests -- sometimes within seconds. He was helpful, thoughtful, and he felt more like an old friend than a host. He helped us on numerous ocasions catch our bearings as we settled back into Austin after being gone for a decade.
We're settled now into our own home, but we'll never forget our 2 months in this super cool house. We'd recommend it to anyone who needed a great place to stay in Austin, with a great host!
* Note about the house -- This house has an unbelievable vibe. Blaine has taken great care picking out furniture and art. Throughout our stay we really fell in love with all the rooms. The house is unique and interesting -- it really inspired us with ideas for our own home.
