From booking to check-out, Merri Gale made herself available should we need anything. Not only is the home just as it is shown, once you arrive, it is actually even better. The house is nestled in a great neighborhood with quick access to wherever you want to go in Austin. Thoughtful is the word I think of first and foremost, from the things we needed to know to the things we needed to be "Home". Our trip was a quick one, but we were made to feel like old friends who had come to town and got the chance to have the house to themselves. We walked to the hike/bike trail just minutes one way, got a car to S Congress each evening for dinner less than 10 minutes another way, and drove to the HEB for morning necessities just minutes in yet another direction. It felt so central to anything in Austin we might decide to do. Simple, uncomplicated, but so warm and welcoming - this is a great airbnb option to live like a local a few days.
