Michael & Deborah's home was an excellent intro to Austin hospitality. Our group of 5 had a busy social calendar lined up and the house was a much needed retreat during our moments of downtime.
All aspects were as advertised and we found ourselves making use of the big upstairs couch for social gatherings the most. The only thing to keep in mind is that all 3 bedrooms are off the living area, so if someone in your group is noise sensitive or on a different nap/sleep schedule, that area isn't ideal for gathering. (However, the downstairs dining room makes a good substitute.)
The neighborhood is peaceful, lush and well situated. We didn't bring a car, and Lyfts were generally quick to arrive. We also walked to the main drag (under 10 mins) where most of the scooter rentals were located. It feels like a world away from Downtown Austin, but getting there was fast and easy.
Many AirBnB's are just investment properties. As the home you live in, we wanted to say thank you to Michael & Deborah for allowing us to share your space for our first Austin visit!
