Staying at Mark and Aviva’s guest studio was great! The space itself is a guest studio behind their home. It was clean and stylish, with an artsy Austin vibe. There are 2 beds, which were very comfortable and they had all the basic amenities. This was my first time in Austin and the neighborhood was safe and walking distance to a cafe, market and a few restaurants. It’s about a mile and a half from the North Loop district, which is small but had some great vintage stores, boutiques and a record shop. Most everything else was a short Lyft/Uber ride away. I mostly used Lyft line and it was about $15 to and from the airport. All my other rides were under $10 (most $7-$8) to get to the downtown and touristy areas. Aviva and Mark were extremely accommodating even though I booked this trip last minute. They were very nice and friendly, quick to respond and had great recommendations. They even allowed me a late checkout to store my suitcase since my flight didn’t leave until 5pm. To get to the studio you will walk past their front door and their neighbors kitchen, however the studio itself was very private. They also do not have a TV but this wasn’t an issue for me since I didn’t go to Austin to watch TV and had my tablet with me. Overall the space was great and I would most definitely stay again!
