The host:
I have stayed at Lisa’s place for almost 2 months after having just relocated to Austin for work. She is a phenomenal host; even before my stay, she answered all of my questions about the apartment and the neighborhood with a very fast response time. She proactively made recommendations about places to eat, to visit, and activities to do in the neighborhood.
The apartment:
It’s an incredibly cozy apartment. The living room has an actual fireplace, one of my favorite amenities in the apartment. The fact that there is a washer and dryer in the premises is a huge plus. The bed is extremely comfortable. I stayed during the cold months (November and December); the apartment has immaculate heating that made it warm at all times. Onsite parking to the patrons is a big advantage, you don’t need to drive around for parking in the neighborhood after a long day outside.
The neighborhood:
Located at a very central location, you can access most of the basic essentials via walking distance - food, hospital, supermarket, parks. There are 2 large parks right next to the apartment. In fact you’re motivated to explore the green belt with so many people walking that you see through your living room window on a regular basis.
Conclusion:
I strongly recommend this place to everyone who is looking for a 1BR apartment to say for short or long term in North Austin.
