I can not say enough great things about my family's time in the Blue Belle. Grace and her whole family were super accommodating and welcoming. They made excellent food suggestions (Hoover's makes the best chicken fried steak in town and Sway is an amazing and upscale Thai restaurant that is a must try), showed us around their amazing property, and even gave my husband fresh aloe when he got his "tourist tan".
The Blue Belle itself has everything you could ask for in a rental home, wonderful living space with three couches available that all convert into beds, awesome kitchen with an excellent refridgerator and a stove that I wanted to take with me, a spacious bedroom with a comfortable bed, and an unbelievably awesome bathroom with a waterfall shower!
Everything was super CLEAN when we got there (I am particular) and the washer and dryer on the deck were an excellent bonus.
The location is awesome walking distance to several great restaurants in a quiet neighborhood. It even has a playground with a splash pad right around the block.
Stay at the Blue Belle on your visit to Austin, you won't regret it.
