We had a very relaxing and comfortable stay. Cynthia and James were some of the nicest hosts I've met using Airbnb.
The room was full of helpful Austin guides and interesting books, and there are sooooo many thoughtful amenities, snacks, and supplies — yogurt, tea/coffee, bug spray, sunscreen, stain remover, you name it — not to mention the homemade banana bread!
Everything was clean and organized, and we appreciated the access to a washer + dryer as well as dishware, a kitchen sink, microwave, and mini fridge. We loved the high ceilings and big windows, they made the room feel bigger. The A/C was solid given it was 102+ outside most days (controlled from the main house). We smelled someone cooking at one point, but it wasn't very strong.
Parking with the visitor's pass was super easy (there were only 2-3 cars on the street at any given time) and there are tons of restaurants and fun things to do within walking distance. It's a nice and quiet residential area with a handful of pedestrians during the day. The pups inside the main house may bark a bit as you come and go, but they're just saying hello. We got to meet Sparky, who was very well trained and showed off his tricks for us!
The closed-in porch and yard is a huge highlight — the hammocks, plants, and lights were gorgeous at day and night. And there are outdoor light options and frequent motion sensor lights along the path to the house so you aren't tripping over yourself if you want to walk around.
Overall, we felt right at home and would definitely visit again.
