Staying at Dani’s place made for a great first experience in Austin! We were two couples traveling together and sharing the place. We were stunned by the decor and lush greenery of the neighborhood upon arrival. The best feature of this listing is the rooftop space BY FAR! It provided a quiet, private place to enjoy the weather and natural scenery. There is even a faint view of the Austin skyline! We spent the majority of our time at the listing up there. :)
The windows insider are wide and tall, letting lots of natural light in if we wanted to raise the shades. We opted to keep them down most of the time for privacy as the listing is in close proximity to several other houses and shares a steep, unpaved driveway. There are two bedrooms and two bathrooms! The master bedroom suite is quite nice, though there is no door between the bathroom and bedroom which is something to be aware of if you’re splitting this place with others. There was some barking from the next door neighbors dogs in the morning that could bother light sleepers. Overall, the neighborhood was quiet and peaceful and we enjoyed the use of the free public pool across the street. The kitchen was immaculate. We realized the food scene in the area was too good to pass up, so we didn’t cook but it looked like all the materials were there if you needed them...our hosts left a great guidebook that was very helpful with info about the area and local restaurants. The listing itself is about a 15 minute walk from SoCo as advertised. It’s also a 5 minute Bird ride (public scooters you can rent!) and you can get to cool stuff even faster than that along Congress Ave! The hosts have great taste and all of the listing was decorated well and thoughtfully. I recommend El Primo taco truck & Chi’Lantro restaurant for great meals & great value! The hosts are thoughtful to provide laundry, weary travelers rejoice. Cheers.
