Linda is amazing, by far the best host I ever had. While the house is seemingly on the older side, Linda is always extremely attentive and always makes sure things are maintained. I had an extended stay with Linda and I saw her work relentlessly to keep the place in ship shape. I also love how quaint the neighborhood is, as well as the location of the stay. Linda is also an amazing person! She really did everything in her power to make the stay feel like I was at home. We shared meals occasionally and she proved to be a fascinating conversationalist, but she was never overbearing and when I needed space she basically let me have the place to myself.
I think my favorite part of the stay was the reliability of the house and of Linda. Not once did I have to worry about things not going according to plan and I was able to get into a good routine after about three days. Travel is always hard because you get so out of your own normal but Linda understands that and so is willing to adapt to your normality to make the stay as enjoyable as possible.
I am greatly appreciative of the time I spent in this fun little house and hope someday I cross paths with Linda again as she truly is somebody to befriend. The spirit of the house, with its ecclectic indoor spaces as well as Cactus filled outdoor spaces exceeds all expectations of any stay in Austin. Linda and her home embody the spontaneity of the city, and yet still provides the reliability of normality for travelers.
If you are looking for a place to stay in Austin there is not a more enjoyable place. Over my stay throughout the summer of 2021 I lived in three different locations, and Linda's blew the others out of the water in every way possible. I can not recommend this location highly enough and think anybody who chooses to not stay in this AirBNB is making a critical mistake missing out on the fully Austin Vacation Experience.
