Julie's place was WONDERFUL! I could not have picked a better place to rent for our weekend in Austin. Julie was extremely accommodating, allowing us to store our luggage with her before/after check in and out. She also answered all of my questions prior to our stay, and made sure that we were properly accommodated with anything we could possibly need. I'm a bit of an overcommunicator, so it was nice having someone who was very helpful and communicative in return!
Not only was this space clean, but it was spacious, comfortable, and welcoming. Having a washer/dryer accessible, as well as a full kitchen, were both really great amenities to have. She had towels available for regular bathing, ones to bring out to any local pools/springs if we chose, as well as ones for makeup. I thought that was really thoughtful! There was a full walk-in closet, comfortable seating space, and a table with space to sit and dine if you'd like. We sadly didn't take advantage of the balcony outside due to weather, but would've loved to!
The location could not have been better. It was about a 5 minute walk each way to streets full of dining and shopping options. We were extremely close to the South Congress area with lots of fun shops, and walking distance from many places otherwise. We actually walked from the 6th street district back one day and it only took around 45 minutes to an hour (we made some stops and took our time!), so it's definitely doable if you prefer walking! We also were a quick and inexpensive Lyft ride away from many other area attractions. The neighborhood was full of fun and quirky houses, and lots of street parking was available were we to have a car, however we did rent a Car2Go and there was a very convenient parking spot to leave it a few minutes' walk away.
We could not have asked for a better location! I hope the secret doesn't get out about how great this place is, because I want to be able to book it upon my return!
