Julie’s place is lovely, and the location was the best thing about my stay. It’s a 5 minute walk to South Congress which boasts many places to eat (Home Slice, Hopdoddy, Magnolia Cafe are all places I’d recommend) and small boutiques where you can purchase souvenirs from your trip, or get in some retail therapy. In the other direction is South 1st Street which has the Austin Mural, many small cafes scattered along the road, and most importantly Gordough’s Doughnuts (HIGHLY recommend).
The apartment itself was spacious, and well maintained. The balcony was smaller than expected, but still made a lovely viewing area to watch the sky change colours.
Julie has provided a lot of amenities for her guests to use, which is not limited to feminine products, a hair dryer, shower products and personal hygiene items, all of which were a pleasant surprise.
If I needed anything, Julie was more than happy to accommodate. She is a wonderful host and I would recommend her place to any couple or singular person visiting Austin.
