Captain’s Quarter’s was the perfect place for spending my last few months in Austin before I moved out..and Janet and Shelly are rockstar hosts, who were always super-responsive whenever I reached out to them for anything. Janet especially went above and beyond and helped my girlfriend and me out significantly during the time when Austin was hit by the Feb 2021 snowstorm. I can’t thank her enough for her generosity. Margo, Janet’s friend, who helps manage the Airbnb was also super-helpful and generous, and would drop by in case if anything was needed in the apartment.
Though the apartment building is on the old side, the apartment itself is well kept and cozy. A lot of detailed care and effort has been taken to keep this place looking gorgeous! From the selection of the couch, to the paintings, to the decor ..everything gives a nautical vibe. The fridge is spacious and loved the water/ice dispensing feature of the fridge. The couch is one of the most comfortable couches I’ve sat on..If you happen to lie down on it, it magically puts you to sleep within seconds :)
The storage cabinet in the bedroom is spacious and the walk-in closet is decently big enough and accommodated my entire luggage(3 huge luggage bags + a few smaller ones) and keep it out of sight.
The apartment is well stocked with dishes, and utensils for cooking and baking, so was perfect for my long stay.
The apartment is centrally located and is close to quite a few stores. Being someone who follows a plant-based, I was ecstatic to find a vegan-friendly gas-station, grocery and a bakery shop and juice land within a 5 min walk radius. Then there is also Walgreens and USPS, which is about 10 mins walking distance.
Would highly recommend anyone looking at renting a centrally located, esthetically kept, peaceful Airbnb with wonderful super-hosts to look no further than the captain’s quarters!
