This is the second time I've stayed at Brittanie and Brock's place - so that already shows that I love this spot. This time, however, I was staying in it for a full week with one friend as we prepared for the Austin Half Marathon. We did explore Austin, but we also spent a lot of time at the house so I was able to test out how "homey" it felt - and it surpassed even my previous expectations. Brittanie and Brock have thought of all the small details that make a place different from a night rental to a home. We had all the necessary tools to cook breakfast, lunch, and dinner and when we needed a baking sheet, the hosts dropped one off that afternoon. The washer and dryer are key and the hosts again were great about helping to restock the laundry detergent. And then all the other pieces of being at home felt there too: netflix, a large couch to hang out on at night, a table to eat at and an island to cook at, chairs outside to soak in the sun while reading a book, and a bathtub/shower to take a relaxing bath after a long run. The location is also fantastic - free parking and a few blocks away from some good food places, a running trail, and a quick drive to a grocery store. All while being in a neighborhood that is on the calmer side. I look forward to the third time I will probably stay here!
