THE PERFECT HOUSE FOR THE PERFECT WEEKEND GETAWAY!
We spent the weekend in Austin for our daughter's 16th birthday. We didn't want to spend a large amount of money on hotels, but wanted to be close enough to the "touristy" hot spots that Austin had to offer. We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay, especially for the price! We come from a small town, and when we turned off the expressway to go to the duplex we rented it was as if someone flipped a switch and we were back in our small town! no traffic, no excessive city noise, just a quiet neighborhood with beautiful homes AND we were 10 minutes from the downtown attractions. With an awesome coffee shop right around the corner!
We met with the owner, David, upon arrival, he personally showed us the house, made sure we were settled and presented my daughter with the most delicious birthday cake that his wife had baked, very thoughtful and DELICIOUS I might add... it literally made my daughter's day! The fridge had a complimentary bottle of wine, local beer and Topo Chico!!! Topo is my favorite, and it was greatly appreciated!
We are not the kind of people to make others clean up our messes, and we always try to go the extra mile in taking care of other's property, but at other places we have booked on Air BNB we would have a mile long list of detailed cleaning instructions, linen care and warnings about being charged if things weren't done properly... David was so generous and laid back! We called him to let him know that we were about to depart and asked what we needed to do as far as clean up, we had already done the essentials of trash, dishes and general pick up, but he told us that he would take care of everything and wished us safe travels! We would never intentionally leave a mess, but it is definitely less stressful not having warnings hung over your head!
This was our best weekend rental experience yet... absolutely worth the money spent! Such a fantastic weekend and we didn't have to spend a small fortune on a room!
