Robert's place was definitely one of our favorite AirBnb experiences. Robert was responsive, generous, and helpful. When we first arrived, he provided some great local recommendations (including Central Market, which is near the house) for taking the kids and having a good outdoor bite with live music. Check in and out was a breeze.
The place was very spacious with some nice features, like the very large shower and soaking tub in the second floor master suite. Everything in the house worked exactly as it needed to (which is sometimes a rare find in AirBnb places). The location was perfect for our trip, visiting friends in downtown, near Zilker, at UT Austin, and Lake Hills. It's also only about 20-30 minutes to the airport. As parents, we loved being able to close the doors to the front wing of the house to be able to use the kitchen, watch TV, and generally hang out without noise traveling to the kids' rooms. The appliances are all up to date and it was a game-changer having a washer and dryer during our stay.
The neighborhood is quiet and we were pleased by how many friendly folks were out walking their dogs and riding their bikes on the nearby streets. We took some phone calls while walking around the area. There are also some great food and drink spots very close to the house. Uncle Nicky's, Antonelli's Cheese Shop, Picnik.
We'll be staying here again the next time we visit Austin.
