The Neighbourhood looks very safe and comfortable. I will say since the Airbnb is in the back of the families main home, it took me a second to figure out how to get to the Airbnb because personally it felt wrong walking through someone’s driveway or backyard, I kept second guessing myself and felt like I was doing something wrong haha.
But once I got past that and into the apartment it is cozy but also spacious— especially the bedroom. It has what I think is a full/queen bed and then a twin day bed and a desk. There are two closets as well with helpful family things like toys and a crib.
I was a solo traveler and my trip was last moment and quick so I didn’t completely utilize everything such as the shower or larger bed. But everything I did use such as the stove, sinks, and toilets all worked very well. They have really good and natural smelling soaps that I enjoyed because I have sensitive skin. I made some tea and enjoyed lounging in the evening. I had a great night sleep on the little bed—it did take a a little while to fall asleep because I’m a paranoid person and was thinking about how there are so many points of entry in the apartment but honestly hahaha no need to worry it’s safe, just sharing for others that have imaginations like mine— the pillow and sheets were so comfy.
The WiFi was very strong and great!
I was mainly hanging out in Downtown Austin and East Austin which was a 8-15 minute Lyft ride away so a good location to get around. I used the church next door address for my rides and waited at the stop sign on the corner and rides always found me super easily.
If I were to visit Austin again I would think about staying here again, the family/hosts were sweet and the value is better than a lot of the overpriced hotels downtown or the outdated cheaper ones.
Thanks for the nice, quick stay. I enjoyed my time!
