Gut: Sauberkeit, Check-in, Kommunikation, Lage und Genauigkeit des Onlineauftritts
We loved our charming central home.
We had such a great experience staying at Mark’s apartment. This listing is for the upstairs portion, which I thought would be a detractor, but ended up being fantastic. Something pleasant about walking up the almost treehouse-like staircase into your secluded pad above street level. Anyways, many positives here:
1) Location
As second-time Austinites we wanted to see a new area (last time was near South Lamar). This central area ended up being perfect in so many respects. First, the neighborhood itself is wonderful. Many beautiful homes, tons of charm and lots of sidewalks and grassy park areas fit for a dog or picnic. It is also walkable to a ton of great restaurants and hip spots (co-op, coffee, outdoor beer hall, juiceland). Driving to Zilker Park was ~10 min which we tried to do nearly every day. And you’re also 15-20 min each way to either south Austin or north (domain).
2) The host
Mark is a sweet guy. He was communicative from the start and welcomed us with a friendly phone call on our way in. He also made great local recommendations and offered assistance with anything that we needed. You can tell he cares.
3) Comfort
The memory foam mattress is very comfortable, and the place has a cozy feel to it. It has all the essentials, and Roku TV was a nice touch. Mind you the kitchen is quaint so we weren’t cooking any extravagant meals. So much takeout nearby though. Also want to mention the hot water in the shower is solid. Like very good.
There are a few things that could be updated, but I’m sure Mark’s aware. And to be fair the furniture is a little more dated, but it fits the space. That said, my partner and I both telecommuted for our month stay, and it worked just fine.
All in all a great stay, and we would love to come back soon. Thanks again Mark!
