We really enjoyed our stay at Steph's place! Her house is centrally located in Austin. We were in town for a vacation and we were able to easily explore numerous city neighborhoods from her place. Steph was such a warm and welcoming host. She was super easy to communicate with and very accommodating! She gave us some great tips about the city and we enjoyed chatting with her. The room and her house in general were very clean, comfortable, and cute. We didn't spend any time in the backyard with the exception of a minute or two when we first checked in, but the back porch area is a great set up for hanging out and relaxing outdoors. We would definitely recommend this place!
