We had an amazing stay at this Airbnb. The host was very responsive and left very clear instructions. The space is great if you're in town and looking for a comfortable and convenient place. Very clean and had a lot of amenities and toiletries available for use. We appreciate that the checkout was very simple- no long list of chores to be done. The area is very nice, lots of walking paths nearby. If you're in town, this is a great option! Highly recommend.

I was looking for the cheapest option in the neighborhood and Shawn’s place was perfect. It was affordable, perfect amount of space, quiet and safe neighborhood, great amenities. It was a hot week and the AC worked great and cooled down the space. He also had an extra fan to cool it down. Loved the snacks, coffee, wine, chargers, and toiletries!

Shawn's place is 5 stars+. He thought of everything you could possibly need and more. There was a bowl full of delicious snacks, plenty of cold drinks, interesting books, and awesome decor. Not to mention the hanging drug store in the bathroom which included, sunscreen, aspirin, razors, combs, sleeping masks, mints, toothbrushes.. and the list goes on. We have visited our other grandkids in Chicago, and Amsterdam, and this is by far the best ever.

Always a pleasure remote-working from Shawn’s Airbnb. Always plenty to walk to and enjoy the neighborhood outdoor areas to decompress. The space is comfortable, and perfect for two in a central location to get to wherever and whatever you could possibly want to travel to.

Shawn is an amazing host. Not only did he provided extra snacks, he also asks if you need anything else and leaves extra to take care of you. I had a bad allergy attack and he had left out allergy medicine along with the snacks.

Couldn’t have been better. Perfect location, very clean comfortable and secure spot close to downtown.
Only regret was not asking Shawn for more local advice. I bet he would have been able to help with good spots in Austin.
If I come back I’ll be hoping to stay here, best spot I’ve stayed in awhile at a great value.
