Theresa is the kindest, most thoughtful host I've had in 10+ years of using Airbnb. My partner and I stayed at her home for 2 months, working remotely during the pandemic, and had such a wonderful experience. Throughout our stay, Theresa was clear, communicative, and helpful through unexpected things that arose, like the unseasonal winter storm we experienced. Her welcome couldn't have been warmer — there were so many nice touches, like a welcome basket of PPE (!) when we arrived, and a thoughtfully stocked fridge and pantry. She'd thought of every detail; we felt so taken care of.
The house itself is "real" Austin, as my local friends say — a cute bungalow with all mosaic art and character that's getting harder and harder to find. I found it considerably more spacious than it appeared in the photographs. Above all, you could tell that this was a real, lived-in and loved home; it has good-quality furniture, real decor with personality, and all the appliances and little things you'd expect in your own home but are often missing in vacation rentals. We cooked a lot during out stay, and this kitchen had everything you could imagine. It was a joy to use and to be in.
If you're looking to work remotely, the space works well. I worked at the kitchen table (the chair was comfortable, and the huge window was real nice), while my partner worked in the upstairs bedroom. The internet was average, and would choke sometimes if we were simultaneously on large-group video calls, but for the most of our long stay it wasn't an issue. All in all, Theresa's place is a find!
