This was my first AirBnB experience! My boyfriend and I arrived after the usual checkin time but Marcella, Meredith, and their girls were so very warm and welcoming. We were promptly shown to the cabin, which exceeded or expectations - so quirky, cute, and comfy. We fell right to sleep in the lovely bed for a power nap and proceeded to spend much of our time away from our lodgings and in Austin proper.
The location of the cabin is to the northeast of the city and can seem a bit far off from the nitty gritty, however Austin in general is not a 'walkable' city like Philly or NYC. That said, we had our rental car and plenty of Ubers at hand to make things more than convenient (for those curious our average Uber trip to S. Congress, the Capital Building, or Dirty 6th cost between $10-$14). We really actually enjoyed going off to a quiet neighborhood each night to unwind.
We stayed for 2 nights, with our flight out of Austin being fairly early our last day. The house is a quick drive from the airport, which allowed us to sleep in a tiny bit more before heading out for our 8AM flight....and enjoy one last Torchy's run last minute the night before (there's a location 3 min down the street!).
All in all, we felt welcomed and accommodated thoroughly. We will definitely recommend and hopefully will be able to stay again ourselves in the future.
Extra perks - homemade toffee, fun pets, lots of Austin literature & travel recommendations throughout the cabin, and a mattress and blanket straight out of heaven.
