This was my first time in Austin and I’m so happy I booked this spot, it was last minute but Peter was very accommodating, attentive and quick to respond. He has a beautiful home and family and an overall great guy. If you want to read, I broke down my review between location and space!
LOCATION
Location wise this air streamer is a 15 min walk from Zilker park, which has the Greenbelt Austin trail, Barton springs and kayaking/boating along the Colorado river (the one that runs through Austin)
If you drive or Uber its no more then a 15min drive from anywhere in Austin city proper.
I scootered everywhere and the air streamer was no more then a 15-25 min ride from anywhere. It was about a 15-20 min scooter/bike ride to the east end - the hip eccentric part of the city (think Williamsburg/Astoria if you’re from nyc or know of it).
In other words the city is accessible from this location whether you drive/cycle/scoot or Uber/lyft.
SPACE
I’m a pretty big guy, 6’1 210lbs and I found the streamer comfortable enough where I didn’t feel claustrophobic.
The spot has a nice modern sensibility and the bed is big! And there is certainly enough space for two people to move around. You can close the blinds and have full privacy. The neighborhood is a quiet family friendly space so keep that in mind. Don’t blast music after 9pm.
It’s a small space with very thoughtful design, and has everything you need, I had a work event and their was an iron for my shirt. The kitchen fully works with knives bowls, dishes, plates, paper towels everything you need to make a solid meal. Oh, and a microwave, so if you’re lazy like me and want to save a little bit you can go to Trader Joe’s and buy some frozen food put it in the freezer, microwave it later and you’re golden.
The WiFi works, and it’s reliably good.
If it gets cold at night you can change the thermostat, and if it gets hot the AC works too.
Most importantly Austin isn’t cheap, and this is a reasonably priced Airbnb for the location and the amenities.
