I've been to Austin before and during that visit I stayed in a hotel, this time around I decided to look into an Airbnb and I'm glad I did. What sold me on this place was the location and the fact it has a washer and dryer inside (the bathroom). When I first walked in I notice a nice Welcome to Austin note that had many recommendations of what to do, where to eat, and nightlife spots to go to. That helped when at times I didn’t know where to go.
The neighborhood has many shops, restaurants, and convenient stores nearby for anyone who is willing to walk to or even ride a scooter. Many app scooters are available through the day since there is a walking path near the lake that is about 150ft from the unit. Aaron lives in the same building just in a different unit, so when I asked if he could print my boarding pass he was able to do so and leave it for me at my unit.
Many of the previous guest leave items behind that can still be used by the next guest (ex. sunscreen, condiments, and dry foods.) so I also left something behind, in a way it’s like paying it forward. He was truly a good host and I know that on my next visit I know where to stay.
