My husband and I were visiting Austin for the first time in April. We picked this apartment because of its central location and cleanliness. And we were not disappointed. By far, it has been our best experiences with Airbnb so far. The location is perfect. It is very close (walking distance) to all the bars and restaurants in downtown Austin, while it is also located in a safe and quite area. You don't have to worry about all the noisy streets. There are a couple of really nice places for food such as a bakery, 24-hour diner which is highly recommended for breakfast, oyster bar, really nice Whole Foods with a lot of food options, ice cream shop, Starbucks, etc. in a walkable distance of less than a couple of blocks away. It would take you only about 10-15 mins to walk to the trail by the river where you can enjoy beautiful sunsets, go for a run, or have fun paddle boarding/kayaking on the river. The place is about 20-30 minutes walking away from Congress avenue and the bridge with well-known bats. We definitely couldn't ask for a better location while visiting the city.
The apartment itself is very comfortable, nice and clean. The bed was comfortable. All appliance were functioning. A/C worked great, the fridge was stocked with refreshments and snacks (which was a big plus after arriving late at night), laundry detergent was provided as well. The hosts are very professional and provide great customer service. We didn't have any issues finding and/or getting to the place. I contacted (emailed) Ron & Hattie when we got to the apartment for the first time late at night and I got an immediate response back. They were caring enough to follow up and ask how was our stay a couple of days later. Overall, we were very happy with the apartment itself, it's location and hosts. We would definitely come back and recommend the place to others.
