Gorgeous house was home away from home.
Thank you Paula for making our stay so wonderful! We all had a very comfortable, enjoyable experience staying in your property. The house, I must say, was very pretty and exceptionally clean and tidy. Every couple in our party had their own ensuite which felt like a luxury. For my part, I slept like a log (memory foam mattress was a pleasant surprise, and black-out curtains). Great, central location (15 minute walk to South Congress street and $7 Lyft to downtown). Actually, we hardly drove anywhere, we just took Lyfts and walked - nice trails nearby. Paula, the host, was very responsive and helpful - she replied immediately when we asked for help using the hot-tub. We cooked breakfast and ate it on the table on the front lawn (it was gloriously sunny) which was a real treat to begin the day with. Also, loved playing Austin monopoly by the fireplace in the evening (we didn't really need it on it was so warm but it made such a nice atmosphere. Overall, really pleasant, fun, comfortable experience - would recommend!

Avid adventurer, striving to make your adventure in my home memorable and relaxing. I continually work to upgrade the house for your comfort. I love researching the silkiest bamboo sheets & softest down pillows to ensure that you sleep well after exploring my downtown neighborhoods.

Why they chose this property

Location plus space and 4 bathrooms. Most houses in this area are small and have fewer bathrooms. Walk to many key Austin places. We are 1.5 mi from downtown.

What makes this property unique
