Only book this spot if you're a good person--this place & this couple deserve nothing less!

The place: If I lived in Austin, this couple would be my go-to for any remodels or interior design. They've done an awesome job with this space. The bathroom is bright and big, the bed and pillows are comfortable, the kitchen has everything you need. A private entrance through the backyard makes it easy to come & go. Bonuses: a Keurig, plenty of hangers, a hair dryer.

The location: I'll be honest, when I drove up, I was sure I was at the wrong address. The beautiful interior I saw in the photos didn't match the outside of this home. But then you learn they recently remodeled the place--and shortly after, you fall in love with it. It's walking distance to great little spots in east Austin, and only about a 10 minute (casual walking pace!!) to the convention center.

The hosts: Really can't say enough great things about these two. They insisted, "Anything you need at all, please please just let us know!" One morning, I told Deanna I noticed a gluten free cookbook in the apartment, and that it made me feel at home (I have celiac). When I came home later, there was a basket of gluten free snacks and fruit. This is the above-and-beyond stuff that good folks do just because they're naturally great, thoughtful hosts. I want to come back to Austin and hang out with these guys.
