We enjoyed our stay at Steph/Meshelle/Alan’s place for our first trip in Austin! Being from Chicago, we appreciate the convenience of walking around. While this lovely place is at close proximity to downtown, we were advised by some locals that we encountered that it might not be the best idea to walk on the nearby road to downtown at night. So that was a bit of a bummer for us. The good news is that it is just a quick Lyft ride away and Austin is pretty small in general so it didn’t break the bank to use rideshare during our short trip. It felt a bit exposed for me thinking that there’s only a door between the bed and the street and the door has a light shade curtain but we slept just fine so I guess I wasn’t that bothered haha, just something to note if extreme privacy is a thing for ya.
Nice touches with the mid-century/retro/eclectic decors/furnitures. The bed was pretty comfy too. Being right next to a lounge, the noise was really tolerable, it didn’t bother us at all. Loved their guide-book! Certainly helped us - the unprepared travelers - with great recommendations! I would add the nearby restaurant Launderette to their eatery list too. We also enjoyed walking to the reservoir and park area. Overall, definitely recommended!
