We went to Austin and stayed in Gigi's place for our 10 year wedding anniversary with our one year old toddler. Best decision ever. Waking up and walking in to the porch with a cup of coffee and smelling the fresh air and listening to the birds chipper, all of us cooking in the beautiful kitchen and eating on the porch, listening to music all the time (and we were so loud and never were made to feel like we were bothering anyone), running on the green clean grass, swinging on the hammock, gathering a few friends at any time of the day (after dark porch has perfect lights) was amazing. Every room, every corner has a beauty to discover, books arts, colorful throws and pillows. We sat on every chair and each had something different about it! We rented our toddlers crib and a booster seat to eat locally from a lovely lady called Ashley. Our toddler was so happy in Gigi's house , exploring, excited, she slept and ate better than ever, became best friends with Betty (Gigi 's super cute and friendly dog), had a lot to discover and enjoyed every bed, the hammock, the vintage red swing, grass, pebbles, colors, chairs, her world expanded. She grew there in many ways. Gigi is the coolest and nicest person to be around. Always there for you if you need but leaves you to your privacy totally. We really like her, what an amazing person ... We loved this house so much that we didn't even want to go and do any touristy things on some days. We were in the center of the hippest neighborhood and restaurants, attractions are nearby . We felt that we truly understood and enjoyed an authentic Austin in this big beautiful quiet piece of heaven having some drinks and good company. We will always come back to Gigi's place when we come to Austin. Great vibes.
