Wow, what a pleasant surprise when we arrived! This is by far one of the best deals on Airbnb for places to stay in ATX! The house is located on a decent size lot shared with another house that Luc has on AirBnB. Enjoy the spacious yard to play games with your family if you’d like. Chairs and rail bench outside to enjoy the weather, and you can enjoy it more in the evening with the hanging LED lights strewn from tree to tree! The house is very roomy for a couple or small family. If more sleeping space is needed, the couch (which is different from the picture posted) is deep enough for use as a sleeping space. The beds in both bedrooms are incredibly comfortable to sleep on. The guest bed is slightly softer if you prefer a softer mattress to sleep on. The kitchen is fully stocked with any utensils that you might need. At least we didn’t need anything else during our stay.
We’re from the country and have slow Internet speeds. The Internet here was GREAT! We got anywhere from 250-450Mbps down/30-40Mbps up, which was helpful for uploading large videos to YouTube! Luc has provided a Firestick for the TV, but you’ll need to login to your Amazon account if you have one. If you don’t have an Amazon account, you might want to bring your Roku or Apple TV, as you won't be able to access Hulu or Netflix without signing into the Firestick. Just an FYI, the Firestick doesn’t allow for casting to the TV from a mobile device.
Speaking of Amazon! If you need things delivered via Prime, you can select to have things delivered the same day, which came in handy for us! With some items being delivered as soon as six hours!
The drive really isn’t that bad coming from Austin to the cabin. Avoid 290/71 and continue south on the MOPAC (if coming from the north) to W Slaughter Lane. You’ll thank yourself later, especially if traveling during rush hour in the morning or evening. Traffic on 290/71 is just horrendous. Whole Foods, Costco, and plenty of other shops are all within 12 minutes from the cabin. HEB is like three minutes.
Luc was very easy to get a hold of, which was very helpful when the central unit went out during the evening. He had the HVAC person come out the next day and found that that controller board was fried, and the part had to be ordered, so Luc came by with some space heaters later that day. Usually, guests never see their hosts in person, but this is when we got to meet the host. Luc is a friendly guy, and it was nice to meet and socialize with him in person. He was very attentive to our needs as guests and respectful of our time while meeting each other. Great host and house! We plan to stay there again for sure!
