It's just a terrific place to stay and enjoy the Austin vibe!
The house itself was fantastic, and the location was superb.
It was fantastic because the owner, Susan, was straightforward and so friendly to work with if anything came up. Her suggestions of where to visit were spot on. You sensed that she wanted to ensure a great visit. The house had an overall sense of calm about it. And the yoga room certainly added to that. It was just enough house for us and any out-of-town visitors.
The school playground across the street became an assembly of dogs (only after school), which our Golden loved. There were so many buddies to run with!
Outside, the landscaping was all organic, which added to the good vibrations of this house. Ethan, the landscaper, was informative, and we took some of his advice home with us. And what a terrific, nice guy!
And the location?! Simply ideal! Close enough to downtown, Lady Bird, SoCo, and other points of interest. It was just so convenient for a last-minute decision to go see live music, stroll (St. Edward's University is also a beautiful campus, and you can watch college athletics), grab some barbecue, or just people-watch. The neighborhood is quiet, even with the delightful laughter of children during recess, and it is ideal for morning and evening walks.
And the friendliness of the people of Austin. So genuine, helpful, and affirming.
We enjoyed our weeks there so much. It helped us find peace, laughter, and enjoyment. Everything we wanted in
