A home away from home... but decorated so much cuter. I was in Austin with my high school teens during their spring break visiting their older sister (An ICU nurse in Austin) who also enjoyed a few stress free days off, during COVID and with water pipe issues in her local apartment so she stayed with us.
The neighborhood is quiet. The beds are so comfortable- perfect cushy/firm balance - even the twins! Okay, the simplicity of the dishes even... yeah... adorable.
We needed a place to decompress and John & Kristina’s place was perfect for easy access to everything. They seriously made their place “extra” - plush towels, yummy coffees (for a cause!), fresh flowers - we all felt a bit pampered!
We kayaked Lady Bird Lake one day, came home ravished & ordered/pick up the best Italian from Gustos! Great for meat lovers and vegetarians.
We hiked and climbed rocks at The Greenbelt the next day, then chowed and enjoyed margaritas at Fresas South 1st on the patio with the “kids” & pup. Came home and taught the kids how to play Texas Hold ‘em. Great kitchen table for games.
Get the theme here? Great access to Austin outdoors AND amazing local food with a cozy home to chill. We only made breakfast and snacks at the house... good call to enjoy the local restaurants.
Next trip, we will stay longer, hit the breweries and also find some music someplace. Hopefully the world will be a bit more open as we tackle COVID.
Thank you John & Kristina! We will see you again!
