Lisa’s place was such a wonderful stay! Everywhere we went was less than 15mins drive. We did Barton springs, south Congress Ave, downtown Austin, saw the bats, and all were very short drives.
The neighborhood was also very safe. You could definitely park in the front of their house without a problem!
The place itself was very well thought out! They provided soap and dish soap, clean towels, everything you’d need for basic kitchen needs and more! The shower got hot quickly considering you’re in a tiny home in their backyard. We came when it was super hot in Austin and the AC was able to keep us very comfortable the whole time! The ice machine was a nice plus although we could not get that or the tv to work during our stay.
The checkin process was very smooth and she let us in a few minutes before checkin. The checkin time was a bit later than I’m used to being 5pm.
One thing to note about Austin in general is all the bugs. We had a few big cockroaches during our stay but I am not sure much can be done about that!
Also, I am not sure if we gave off the wrong impression somehow but we ran into the host a couple times and tried to wave hi but he didn’t wave hi back/ignored us. I haven’t had this experience with other hosts when running into them but I understand some people show their welcome in other ways so that’s OK!
Overall, it was a great value for your dollar and convenient place to stay!
