Amina was a wonderful super host!!! All the little touches went a very long way to make our stay extra enjoyable. From coffee, filtered water, extra toothbrushes, floss, toiletries, nice shower essentials to the overall cute and well decorated room + amazing shower. You can tell she's put lots of time and effort into making the space warm and welcoming.
We felt comfortable, relaxed, and LOVED all her tips and suggestions for the neighborhood and for Austin. She was flexible, quick to respond and proactive about communication. She let us store our suitcases in the gray garage area after checkout. We got caught in the rain on our bike ride and that was a great quick spot to dry off and change! The room had a separate entrance and felt private, though Amina welcomed us into the main house/kitchen should we need it and we grabbed filtered water and ice from time to time!
The location of Amina's place in East Austin was perfect for us - we spent half our trip exploring Austin, walking/biking Lady Bird lake (5 min walk away), dining at very trendy Laundrette nearby, Veracruz for breakfast tacos (twice!), walking up to 6th street to Tamale, hitting Rainey Street for nice dinner at Emmer + Rye, and a day at Austin City Limits.
