Suzanne's house could not have been more perfect for our month-long stay in Austin this summer. The house is gorgeous, spacious, uncluttered, and full of light. The big rolling yard had more than enough activities to keep my 3 young children occupied for days on end -- the trampoline, the many swings, and the lovely outdoor pool with many floaties. The highlight, of course, were the ten, personable chickens who roamed the yard and kept us endlessly amused with their various personalities and quirks. The neighbors were incredibly welcoming and friendly -- stopping by to welcome us or visit the chickens or just say hi.
The house is convenient to downtown Austin (15 min) but also just a few minutes drive from a shopping center with a supermarket (H.E.B.), insanely tasty breakfast tacos (Tacodeli), and a pancake-lovers paradise (Kerbey Lane).
Suzanne went to great efforts to make the house feel homey and welcoming for us. She put shampoo and body soap in all the bathrooms, had plenty of clean fluffy towels (both bath and pool towels), and had the house stocked household supplies like paper towels, toilet paper, trash bags, and soap.
Best of all, her communication was superb. She sent us a thorough welcome letter explaining all aspects of the house and throughout our stay she was responsive and helpful over text.
This house is truly a find and Suzanne is one of most considerate and organized AirBnb hosts I have ever been in contact with.
