First time experience of an Airb&b stay for myself and my partner, we spent 25 days at host Andrew's superb Austin 'Get Away' over the Christmas/New Year holidays and loved every minute we were there. The photos really don't do it justice, a terrific stylish living space with every comfort and accoutrement you could wish for during a stay. The apartment was in spotless condition on our arrival, the fridge & kitchen cupboard stocked with a few essential staples...really thoughtful hosting and greatly appreciated. The apartment's heating/AC system is efficient and simple to use; during an uncharacteristic cold snap over Christmas the place was always cozy and warm for us. Similarly in the en suite bath room, hot water was pretty instant, strong water pressure in the shower, plenty of towels and sundries etc. The bed was extremely comfortable and the linen fresher than a spring breeze on our arrival.

Unfortunately we didn't get to meet our host Andrew in person as he was away from Austin at the time, but he provided a great guide to the area and rundown on the apartment in the check-in info. Andrew was always quick to respond to my 'Noob' e-mail queries prior to arrival and the odd phone call while we were there, he is very straight forward and was helpful throughout.

The apartment itself is situated in a quiet street, just a few clicks away from South Lamar boulevard, the neighbors were all very friendly and made us feel very welcome during our stay there.

The location in South Lamar was perfect for us; so many great places to eat, drink, buy groceries, be entertained or rock-out to live music all within easy walking distance. We both enjoyed discovering Austin on foot that we pretty much hoofed it into Congress et Al and rarely used the bus, but there are plenty of bus links on South Lamar if you need them.

We both had a terrific stay in Austin at the 'Get Away' and would unreservedly recommend the apartment and it's host.
We'll certainly be hoping to book again on our next visit.
