Our stay here was an invaluable experience for my wife and me. We visited Austin from the northeast to scout it out for a potential move next year -- this is a very big & scary thing for us.
We could not thank Cecily & Fam enough for their warmth and hospitality; their influence on our experience in this city was vast and incredibly informative.
Besides how awesome they were, the location and house are both AMAZING! Cannot stress how awesome the location was for walking downtown, through the green belt, to Zilker Park, to Wholefoods, to see bats under the Congress Ave bridge, et cetera. (disclaimer: we're NYers and don't mind walking 20 minutes to take in neighborhoods and atmosphere). (PS: Zip car cars also located TWO street blocks away -- amazing!) Look the location up and see how central it is for yourself.
If you're looking for an authentic stay in Austin, in an incredibly historic and beautiful home, centered in the heart of downtown we can't recommend this place more highly.
Thanks again for a wonderful vacation and view into our future.
