My boyfriend and I were visiting Austin this past weekend for an anniversary trip to check out the city. We wanted to stay in a place that was far enough away to sleep well and have a place to relax, but close enough to the city to be able to go in and out multiple times. Steve's place was beyond anything we could have wanted. The moment you walk in it feels like you are staying in your own private tree house! Bright open windows high above with trees blowing outside. We could see the moon shining at night! It's a small place but it has everything you could need..a hot walk in shower, comfortable bed, cold AC. We never got a chance to meet Steve while we were there..just never crossed paths. But we loved that it felt like we had a private place to stay without any disturbances. Steve was more than accommodating and got back to us right away when we contacted him. He even allowed us to check in earlier in the day as our flight came in the morning. Not mention he thought of everything that could make the place feel like home. We had two beers, wine, coffee with cream and sugar, apples..he even left sunscreen which was something I didn't even think about bringing but definitely needed. The only tip I would give to others is that is worth while to rent a car. We thought we could take "Ride Austin" (Austin's version of uber) everywhere since we were only a couple of miles away from everything but it definitely gets expensive since they tack on fees for every minute and mile. This is not to say anything negative about the place though. It really is only a couple of miles from everything. We even road the bikes around one day. Our trip to Austin was absolutely perfect. It was the weekend my boyfriend proposed to me for our five year anniversary! A memory I will keep forever. We will definitely be back to visit Austin and we won't need to search for a place to stay. This is the place!
