Mariah-Rae is an gracious and an incredibly thoughtful host. To be fully honest, when I first pulled up to the AirBnB, I thought the mannequins hanging in the porch to be a little disturbing and was perplexed by the number of seemingly random items in the front yard. I tried looking at the other reviews after this experience to see if anyone else thought the same way but I couldn't find anything mentioning the mannequins so maybe it's a "Keep Austin Weird" thing and I was thinking way too much into it. Once we fully moved in and I had my first beer by the pool, man, my entire attitude changed. It's an awesome spot! Mariah-Rae not only has a lot of amazing small touches to the actual room that I thought made the place very cozy and almost resort-like but I also felt like she kept the outdoor area impressively clean for the sheer number of birds that populate this area. The birds are a real thing and colorful ones too! It's a great place to relax and it's ideally located in between Rainey Street and East 6th Street so that you can quickly get to the party area that fits your vibe. The cherry on top had to be just how thoughtful Mariah-Rae is though. She would text us when she was running to the supermarket even to see if we needed any extra supplies which I thought was a very kind gesture. If you're visiting Austin, this is the AirBnB for you to stay!
