First of all, I would like to thank Lynn for accommodating our last minute booking at her place. Lynn and her place definitely saved my birthday weekend getaway.
Right of the bat, I noticed that the place was close to downtown, South Congress and close to many food places and easily accessible to all the major highways to get around Austin. The neighborhood/area is safe and clean. Parking was easy to find. Just a note they will tow your car if you park inside after hours, so if you are a guest/visitor you will need to park outside the gate overnight/after hours. It wasn’t an issue for us since we enjoyed the mini walk/exercise and parking is always easy to find outside the gate. You can either park on either side of the gate or on the street. The check in process was very easy!
The apartment was a delight! Lynn really took her time putting up the decor and styling the way it is. It was very relaxing and peaceful. It was exactly the vibe I was looking for - we were looking for. She thought of everything her guests might need - she provided clean towels, shampoo & conditioner, toothpaste, epsom salt if you needed to soak after a long day, a small first aid kit, iron & iron board, water and snacks. She lives in the apartment half of the time (not during the stay!), so the kitchen is stocked with her own food supply (it wasn’t a problem at all) and kitchenware. It really helped when we had to keep our to-go food in the fridge for whenever we went out to eat and a microwave to reheat our food. The bathroom was also very clean and loved all the little decor she had. The bedroom was so cute - oh so relaxing! The bed mattress and pillows were comfortable.
Her next door neighbor was nice and let us borrow an umbrella when it was pouring rain our first evening. Also, she is easy to contact and get a hold of. We didn’t have much questions, but when we did she answered right away. There is also a TV/Apple TV, but we didn’t get much use of it. I had trouble using it or maybe I’m just not sure how to use it. Silly me.
I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to everyone - couples, little families and group of friends. You will enjoy her place!
