welcome to the sanctuary!!! this place was beautiful. it was located on the top floor and it had amazing views. (It is a walk up. We walked up two flights of stairs but it was worth it. When you open the door (be careful!!) there’s a mirror right behind the door and if you swing too hard it will hit it. It was like the pictures but way more beautiful in person.
It is located literally walking distance from everything you need on a vacation. HEB is a quick 7 min drive down the street. A quick trip down the incline and you’re right by Whole Foods, target, a lot of Tex mex restaurants and a cool CBD dispensary. Catty corner to the building is a liquor store, gas station and two food trucks. (one is Krab Kingz and one is tacos) outside of the window you can see the homeless camps under 35 but let me be honest, if you’re used to living in a city it’s apart of the ambience, if you’re not, you will be throughly entertained. (One man had a chicken on a leash on his shoulder) KEEP AUSTIN WEIRD!!
The Airbnb was again gorgeous. It was spacious enough for me and my guests. I think we had too much space. The views from the balcony was amazing. One thing: the balcony has chairs but no tables.
The sitting area was gorgeous. The TV plays loud enough to listen to some chunes and vibe while watching the sunset across Austin. The leather bean bag chair was my favorite. The sofa is comfy. The rug sheds a bit but if you know how expensive rugs are who cares. The windows provided a lot of light to the space. It was overall just gorgeous. I wish I could post videos.
The beds: very very comfy. My friend enjoyed staying in the master. AMPLE space and a gorgeous bathroom.
The overall space was gorgeous. After a night of drinking walking back to the stairs can be tiring but the view is worth the exercise. The one bad point: the curtain from the patio didn’t close but it didn’t bother us. We didn’t hear any noise from the surrounding ppl in buildings. Again, it’s right by downtown so expect to hear the noise of the city.
Parking: the lot can be a bit tight when it’s full and you need to back in to back. We had an impala and camaro so it was easy to park just be aware of the other cars and pedestrians.
Overall: if I’m ever needing another Airbnb in Austin this is the one. Jason and Corrie were exceptional hosts. They communicated from booking to end of my trip. They responded quickly to all of my questions and concerns. They are some of the best hosts I’ve had since using Airbnb. thank y’all!!! :)
