What a FANTASTIC stay. Even though I didn't get to meet Shawn in person, I could tell instantly and throughout the duration of my stay, that I'd found a kindred spirit and a genuine, great host. But just because he's a nice guy, doesn't mean you want to stay in his place right? Wrong! The clear communication from the outset spoke well of the trip to come. His ideally located loft in the heart of downtown Austin is perfect. For a single person or a couple, I can't imagine a hipper, more comfy, modern space to retreat to, a paper plane ride away from the historic 6th street district, Congress Ave, and the many wonderful restaurants in walking distance. There's even a bike at Shawn's which I didn't use, but it's there. Plenty of scooters (be careful) right outside the door, and invaluable secure parking in the cool building his loft is in, all make this a stay to both remember and come back to. Book ahead, the word is out and the availability ain't great, for good reason! Large screen TV's in the living room & bedroom, a handy Dyson fan at bedside, easy instructions to get in and out, and maybe best of all, secret messages to get into some of the local haunts including a nearby Speakeasy which was terrific fun and excellent bespoke cocktails. Only had a couple days in Austin on this trip, next time a week minimum. If I can find a week he's open! Thanks again Shawn!! Next time, I hope we can meet for a drink!
