This is such a unique AirBnB, but I guess that’s to be expected in ATX.
We stayed here for almost a week, so we got to know the space pretty well. It’s safe and secluded. We had business in a downtown hotel, so this BNB was perfect for a little driving back and forth. It was also a relief to not be directly in the busiest areas in the city. The BNB is also right next to a food truck that served amazing Vietnamese food. That was handy for when we were busy or running late and didn’t want to go hunting for food.
We regularly heard the Black Angels practicing. That didn’t bother us, but it might be worth taking into account. The train went by fairly regularly. Our first night, I woke up around 3am when I heard the train and thought I was about to be run over. I think that happened more because I had forgotten about the train since booking the BNB. After that night, the trains didn’t bother me and I slept soundly.
The space is small yet functional. It really was cozy. And though it’s not the fanciest BNB we’ve stayed at, it more than exceeded our expectations—especially for how much it cost. Part of what made the BNB so enjoyable is that our hosts were easily accessible and responsive. We needed a couple of items during our stay, and everything was taken care of quickly. Again, I wouldn’t expect that level of service for the price-point.
We don’t get to go to Austin often, but we’ll definitely book here if we get the chance.
