Great hospitality! This family is so warm and laid back; even though I can be really introverted I truly enjoyed hanging & chatting with them a bit during my stay. Great communication and lots of thoughtful touches made me feel very welcomed and at ease.
Location-wise... I thought this was the perfect spot to be a little on the edge of South Congress and St. Edwards neighborhoods. Nice and quiet area, and just a short uber, or reasonable/moderate walk to restaurants and shopping. Visitors who want to skip car rental like I did may want to look into renting a bicycle or scooter (moped, vespa) & make those arrangements before you arrive (local bike shops seemed to sell out). If you do rent a car, it looked like the neighborhood had plenty of free street parking.
Other quick thoughts:
- guest bed was very, very comfy! I slept like a baby
- their dog is super sweet and well behaved, if that is a concern for you
- when I first arrived, I realized I could hear a lot of movement upstairs directly over the guest bedroom - however I never heard any noise again and it did not affect my stay/ability to sleep whatsoever! If you are typically a super light sleeper like me, you'll probably pack earplugs anyway just to be safe ; )
- everything in their description was super accurate, so if you like what you see, I highly recommend this airbnb!
