This AirBNB is incredible!! This was our first AirBNB experience and Lisa and Rick have set the bar high for future hosts!
The location: We absolutely loved the Hyde Park neighborhood. The apartment is on a very quiet residential street but within 5 minutes of a number of excellent restaurants and within 10 minutes of the downtown area via car. Lisa and Rick's house and apartment are an architectural marvel, and there are lots of other really charming houses in the neighborhood. The apartment also came with a parking space and there seemed to be plentiful street parking if needed.
The apartment: The space is absolutely stunning. The high ceilings and modern furnishings make the space seem huge. The kitchen was better stocked than our kitchen at home, there was a really cute dining area, and the living room had two very comfortable seating options. The bedroom was the perfect size and super cozy. The bathroom included a washer and dryer, which is very handy for longer stays. The entertainment options on the tv were plentiful and the wifi was very speedy.
The hospitality: Lisa and Rick are amazing hosts. When we arrived on the first day of our stay, we bumped into Rick stocking the apartment with a few snacks and some local craft beer. When we checked in we found a nice note from Lisa and Rick that included all the details of the apartment as well as a ton of local suggestions that were spot on. The hosts also provided three excellent Austin guidebooks, and offered up great suggestions when we spoke to them about activities on our itinerary. While we were staying in the space, a group of architects needed to tour for a competition. Lisa and Rick let us know about this well in advance and were very upfront and prompt with communication leading up to and during our stay! Lisa and Rick did a great job making us feel welcome.
Overall: STAY HERE! We can't say enough good things about this space. It truly made our vacation. Thank you Lisa and Rick!
