It was a girls weekend for us-full of races/events, sightseeing and of course....drinking and food. Since my girlfriend's events were in Burnet and I was running the Austin Marathon, this cute loft was perfect! I was without a car for approximately a day, but was not inconvenienced since everything was close. However, my girlfriend could not get to the parking lot after her event because the streets were still closed down. Austin is different than most cities, who rush to open the streets back up.
The view of the capitol is beautiful from the loft. You can hear the (church bells?) ring every hour 😊. Since it was Presidents Day weekend, you could hear the louder protesters from the capitol. No worries...there are ear plugs in one of the bathroom drawers. Lots of activity around the capitol...lots of people watching. I loved it.
Sounds might come through the historic loft walls, but not one drop of the tornado and hail producing rain, that pounded ALL night, came inside! I love the decor of the loft...the eclectic furnishings with the historical building is very eye appealing. The hardwood floors, the older tile, the older finish on the walls..love it. NOTE: while there is very ample bathroom space, the shower is not made for a large person. So if you are vertically/horizontally large, the shower will be a tight space.
The owners are very responsive to inquiries and requests. They made my 1st AirBnB a pleasant one. I will gladly stay here the next time I run the Austin Marathon.
