This was my first time booking through Airbnb so naturally I did not know what to expect, but after reading the description of this cozy room online I thought it would meet my needs . I am happy to say that the accommodations exceeded my expectations. The place was clean , comfortable, beautifully decorated and felt like home away from home . Deborah and David were the perfect hosts, nice and welcoming and checked in daily to make sure I did not lack anything. The room was generously stocked with beverages, food items and snacks and had all all the basic amenities including a small fridge, a toaster and coffee maker... I also felt very safe in the private quarters they provided. I did not run into major issues but they addressed some minor concerns promptly and to my satisfaction and offered helpful recommendations.
Not knowing Austin well, I was also very happy with the neighborhood and the location. It was within walking distance to Zilker Park and the Barton springs pool as well as the famous Umlauf sculpture garden . It is perfect for travelers looking for a quiet place with easy access to nature and not far from the busy downtown area. If you enjoy walking, a long stroll can easily get you across the bridge into the city . I did not have a car but walked and used taxis without any problems.
I only have two possibly negative comments. If you are a TV watcher there isn’t one in the room- not an issue for me- and if you plan to sit out on the patio which is truly lovely with its nice flowers and bird feeders, beware of mosquitoes. I still enjoyed the view from the comfort of the bay window .
If my travels take me to Austin again I would definitely stay at Deborah and David’s place.
