I was moving into Austin and needed somewhere to live and work for a couple of months while I was waiting for my new place to be ready. April’s house fit the bill perfectly. It’s quiet, comfortable, in a nice safe neighborhood, very convenient to shopping and getting around town. Internet is fast and reliable, my room was very clean and private. I felt very relaxed there.
The host was very friendly, caring, and accommodating - she answered any question and took care of any issue I had quickly and with a great attitude and she, her cleaner, and her handyman were all very respectful of my personal space. I’m a private person and especially while working don’t like to be disturbed.
If I need to stay in Austin again I will look to see if April has any vacancies first. To me it felt just like visiting family or a friend - it was not like staying at a hotel where everything is perfectly neat and impersonal. It was like living in a friend’s home, which it really was.
