Flying in from San Francisco, Denver and Chicago, we (nine of us) had never been to Austin before but were excited about the reputation it had of being eclectic, unique and full of southern charm. This house and these hosts were full of exactly that. We didn't have the pleasure of meeting Justin and Becca but felt like we had friends in the neighborhood (I joked with my friends that they were our secret admirers :) taking care of us and leaving things for us to make our trip everything we had imagined.

It was my birthday weekend and we arrived to the sweetest note with champagne and a cheese/berry platter. It welcomed us in the most charming way. The coffee shop, Cenote, around the corner is stunning and just totally as amazing as the house itself. La Barbecue is down the street and serves free beer as you wait in line and listen to live bands play. Rainey Street and 6th Street were as cool as ever and completely walkable (even in heels!).

It was the most perfect house for the most perfect weekend, hosted by the most perfect couple (that we never met but loved!).

Thank you Justin and Becca. You have a house and a charm that left us with memories we'll never forget.
