Staying at Joey and Stephanie's is exactly what airbnb is all about - soaking in the local flavor, eating and drinking at nearby favorites, and feeling at home when you're far from it. There is no place like this one and if you're staying in Austin, you should do yourself a favor, stop looking and stay at Joey and Stephanie's. We've stayed at dozens of airbnbs, hotels, and motels during our summer road trip and this Austin find was, by far, the best one yet. It's close enough to all the Austin weirdness but far enough away to go back to their place and chill out for the night.

The only downfall would have to be that it was hard to leave the great home-brewed coffee, the cozy breakfast bench complete with delectable morning goodies (like strawberries and English muffins which Stephanie so kindly provided for us), the ridiculously comfy couch and satellite TV, the uber plush bed and pillows, and all-in-all the awesomely decorated and perfectly air conditioned private guesthouse.

We're looking forward to our next Austin visit!
