Richard was an amazing host...it was our 1st time reserving a private room vs. entire home. Lucky for us Richard made us feel so welcome that it was more like visiting an old friend.
By the end of our 2 night stay we ended up actually gaining a new friend and we highly recommend Rich. His location is great - East Austin - we walked to the LBJ Library in Central Austin and all the way to Franklin's where we rented a bike for 24 hours. From there we rode to downtown and toured the State Capital.
Used RideAustin & Fasten apps...(many have discounts for 1st time users) both these service the airport as well. We used these apps to visit Rainy Street and Zilker. Walked the green belt by the Lady Bird Lake...very scenic you can also ride bikes, rent kayaks or paddle boards plus you could also row.
Please note when planning to bike ride that Austin has lots of hills...some really big ones unlike FL, so know your limits.
Rich's place is also close to a few bus stops...we didn't use this service though.
Now back to the actual airb&b place...Rich's place is exactly how you see it on the site. The room is very private and cozy - the bed was so comfy. Bathroom is right next door/private use. Rich stocked the bathroom with shampoo/conditioner & shower gel...the good kind. Loved his organic conditioner that intend on buying for my own home! When we arrived we had towels & wash cloths folded neatly on our bed.
His home is beautiful - very modern & bright...lots of windows (with great roll down shades for privacy). Deck outback and a backyard.
An exceptional host, place & location!
