Wade's east side Austin spot is perfect for those looking for the leading edge of local culture and color - the east side is my favorite part of town, close to downtown but hipster heaven and great food and drink and nightlife, it's just local's Austin through and through. You will see lots with obvious teardown and signs of a neighborhood in transition, but that's what I like about that part of town. Wade's house is beautiful – incredibly well thought out, epitome of the modern smart home. He's got a great entertainment system for listening to music and watching movies, central air ( also a couple of ceiling fans which really helped to tweak the temperature /comfort level), top-of-the-line kitchen, and very comfortable bed and bedroom- i'm a big fan of the memory foam bed, you don't disturb your partner ship around and if your solo you sink in comfortably.
Wade's place is credibly, reasonably priced. I personally I'm looking at the four seasons as an alternative, what you were paying three times the amount for a kind of stuffy old school vibe with 1/8 of the space. It's far better than your Kimpton Van Zandt hotel where the corners they cut in construction are ever apparent. Wade's spot is new construction and solidly built - I have an issue with privacy and quiet and hotels – always woken up by noise in the hallway, but this spot is very quiet and you can blast music and movies without really disturbing anyone. You have a lot of sun and light coming into the spot through big windows and the bedroom has some solid wood blinds for privacy. I also liked that I had plenty of room for the 29-er I rented from Mellow Johnnies(best bicycle shop in the multiverse) in the side of the house.
And to boot Wade lives in the back house so is there to help out when nec and he's a good guy, solid and smart human.
The unit is an ext of Wade's house, something he built from scratch carefully and with pride, so you feel that come through. A lot of new airbnbs, especially in towns like Austin are built cynically for high volume stays and by people who have more than one property, this noise is a part of a home, a real Austinite's spot.
Highest rec, especially those looking for great value for their money.
