I've had the privilege of staying in some very nice Airbnb rentals, from several thousand dollar per night sea-side mansions in Cabo to small private rooms in Budapest -- this little house in East Austin transcended all of them. The house itself is small yet efficient -- it has everything you need, exactly where you'd expect it to be: Scissors? In the drawer where you'd expect them. Printer? Next to the desk and WiFi enabled (printed concert tickets from my phone -- a first for me). Forgot a toothbrush, floss, toothpaste, band aids, etc? All in the bathroom drawer.
Kelli was there to assist at every step of the way: making sure I got in OK, recommendations for dinner, or helping me understand how to use the fire pit (it's controlled by a switch that says "FIRE"). From the moment I walked in I knew I'd made a good decision. The lights were dimmed and candles were lit, Thievery Corporation radio was playing over the speakers, and some desperately needed beer and water was waiting for me in the fridge (awesome fridge, btw). The house itself is a microcosm of Austin, everything was so thoughtfully and tastefully represented -- I could wax poetic all day about just how lovely everything was, but I'll leave most of it to you to experience for yourself. Don't think twice -- this is where you want to stay when visiting Austin.
