Michele & Alex's place is well situated within walking distance to a lot of South Congress sights and activities. I thought it was a nice space and clearly a lot of thought and attention was put into the experience for the guests. There were helpful magazines and maps about Austin and even sunblock and bug spray in the bathroom (btw if you're new to Austin- bring bug spray! We were eaten alive- must like our sweet California blood :P). Michele & Alex were attentive to questions, but the space felt very private. I know they have dogs, but I didn't even notice when/if they were in the yard. Also, I think we would have enjoyed a bit more of the space, but it rained while we were there so we couldn't hang out in the yard which looked really cute. Check in and out was clear and easy. Extra plus- you might not think about it but a laundry and a fridge are so nice to have when you're staying somewhere for a few days. Especially when you can't finish all the delicious food. There's Hopdoddy Burger Bar and a really great New York style pizza (Home Slice) down the street. Really enjoyable visiting Austin and looking forward to coming back again in the future!
