I found Justin & Becca's beautiful home on Airbnb, after a frantic search to find a house that would accommodate 9 ladies for a destination Stagette. Several months previous, I had booked a home in East Downtown Austin, through a different rental website. I was so disappointed when they informed me that it was changing ownership & they weren't willing to honor the reservation. The second home I booked, through another agency, seemed ok... But then later it was brought to my attention that the total occupancy had been revised, & it would no longer sleep the 9 of us. -Thank goodness I found J&B's beautiful house through Airbnb! It was better than I could have imagined! -& Super close to where we wanted to be.
*Everything happens for a reason.
After submitting a request to book their home, (getting too close to the date for my own comfort) I was so excited to receive a personal message with their acceptance. -I had shown some of the girls the photos from this website, & our hopes were riding on a 'yes'. Everything seemed good to go! Upon arrival, walking into the home was a-mazing! Funky/Chic/Eclectic/Unique/Cozy/Vintage/ all around lovely. SO COOL! ..And we were welcomed by a handwritten note, offering local craft brews in the fridge & coffee beans ready for the grindin', & the French Press. Perfect! There were little treasures around every corner. It makes the house so interesting. They've definitely put a lot of heart into their home. Six beds, (3 large beds downstairs / 3 single beds upstairs) meant that the 9 of us were very comfortable. (-I slept better in the 'Key Room' bed than I do on my own mattress at home. Trade-sies?) ..Two full bathrooms & one water closet, meant that we all had lots of room to make ourselves beautiful before terrorizing the town. Walking to Sixth Street took all of 10 minutes. It was plenty close for short jaunts to the convenience store, or tons of Piñata places, if that's your thing! Ha!! -Cenote (the local java joint & cafe) is almost right across the street. So tasty! -& hangover convenient for a delicious breakfast or hearty smoothie. Justin & Becca were also available for every silly question we had. Very kind & close by to help out. ...Hullahoops in the backyard, a firepit with wood to burn, & a huge deck for everyone to relax on & enjoy the view of Downtown Austin. Absolutely gorgeous!
*Thank You guys SO MUCH for lending us your home. -& Thanks for being so down to earth. We had the most amazing time, all thanks to your lovely abode. I'll recommend it to every friend traveling your way. All the best to you!
