Marisa was the perfect host, her apartment is in premiere location off South Congress, and the apartment hits the perfect balance of being clean and hotel-like, while remaining homey. If you're planning to use Airbnb in Austin, then stop looking because you won't find a better place or host than this one.

I went to Austin to take the bar exam. Knowing this, Marisa set up a little study area for me, left me some healthy snacks, and even welcomed me with a bottle wine.

The apartment was impeccibly clean, no noise issues (really surprised me given the apartment is right downtown), and Marisa was always available to answer any questions.

Even after my stay concluded, Marisa was a great host. I left my personal journal on a coffee table, and Marisa found and mailed it to me as soon as she found it.

I've stayed in many Airbnb spots, and lived in Austin for several years. You won't find a better host than Marisa, a more lovely apartment, or a better location to enjoy Austin than this.
