I arrived in Austin with intentions to stay a few minutes (2 mins) from Family, only to find that the previous night the city of Austin experienced a freeze with temps dropping into the teens. Unfortunately, the original Airbnb reservation pipe's froze and I was to be homeless with a pet and groceries on the EVE of 'Christmas Eve'. I perused options (with Airbnb) and found this Gem. It was little further out than 2 mins, but access to back roads made the commute doable in minutes.
Lindsey did not make me wait 24hrs for call back, only minutes to approve me. With Dog in tow, and still wanting to feel the Christmas cheer, we made our way to the airbnb to find it warmed up and inviting, an enclosed back yard and an offer of wood for an outdoor pit. The kitchen (all it amenities) allowed me to whip up the chicken enchiladas. Open floor plan allowed me to make a little Christmas cheer that could be seen from the kitchen to the living area and the dining area. Warm bed. Cozy feel. Perfect!
