Gabe’s place was very well situated - I was never more than 25 minutes from any part of Austin and we went ALL OVER town. It was great in that regard, but if you wanted to stay in and relax - their place was also very peaceful. They had a great big yard and nice back porch where we enjoyed breakfast each day with the friendly rabbits. On day 1, the rabbits ran from us. On day 3 they seemed to be comfortable enough not to run from us. This isn’t something we were looking for, but it did give us an odd sense of being “at home”.
Those are things that stood out to me, but I don’t want to take the other things for granted…house was very clean, hosts were responsive and I was very thankful to find a nice beverage awaiting us after a long day of travel to Austin.
