When I walked into Emily's home with my boyfriend, I was immediately taken with how beautiful the house was. It is light, airy, spacious and incredibly inviting. Everything was clean, the bedrooms were tidy with fresh sheets, blankets and pillows, the two bathrooms had plenty of toilet paper and supplies, etc. The house has very modern appliances and you can tell a lot of thought (and love) has been put into the decor and design. On the kitchen counter, Emily had left a note with a friendly greeting and a reminder of the house rules. Next to it sat a guide to the neighborhood and a bottle of wine to enjoy during our stay. Lovely! On the guide, there were restaurants and fun things to do in the area. Her house is in the best possible spot; you take a left and then a right and you are on Congress street, a couple blocks away from the famous Homeslice restaurant and Amy's Ice Cream. It was awesome. We mostly traveled by car but everything we wanted to visit was within 15 minutes of her home. I would absolutely stay here again and I suggest anyone who wants to feel like a true Austinite should make a reservation. Thanks again, Emily and Shelley!
