    Sylvia was an excellent host for our stay in Austin; kept in touch before our arrival and took care of everything we needed while we were there. Apartment was as advertised with clean linens, clean kitchen, and (most important!) clean bathroom. Truly a great experience.

    May 2012
  • Sylvia was a kind and wonderful host, and she has a lovely, well-kept place! Our accommodations were clean and comfortable and surrounded by a lovely garden. Everything you will need is provided there--unlike some AirBnB places I've stayed. Sylvia added an extra single bed so that four people could be accommodated. Though the place may be small by apartment standards, with four people, it was a similar experience to sharing a hotel room with others, except this one had a little more space and a kitchen. We were staying for business (a conference at the nearby convention center), and this was a no-nonsense quiet, convenient place to stay. Everything about this stay was easy and wonderful. Although, her movie collection and plethora of traveler information made me wish I had more time relax and to explore Austin. Next time I'm in Austin, I will stay here again! :)

  • Precious garage apartment with everything we needed. Came for the Country Living Magazine Fair and to visit daughter. Perfect location to do everything we wanted to do.

  • Really cute place, plenty of privacy. Extremely convenient to the convention center -- closer than the downtown hotels! Sylvia is very accommodating. Place is perfect for a solo traveler or a couple though it can sleep up to 4 easily.

  • Sylvia's place was absolutely perfect. It was clean, stocked with things you might have otherwise forgotten to pack (extra soap, shampoo, coffee, tea, etc), and so, so cute. The a/c worked like a dream, and the location couldn't be closer to all the action in Austin. This place is ideal for the solo traveler, or anyone looking to get a bit of work done during a working trip.

  • Sylvia's guest house is the perfect combination of comfort, amenities, and good location for a trip to Austin. It was just right for 2 friends! We had plenty of space to have meals inside, share the bathroom with its cute claw-foot tub, and hang out on the beds to watch some TV. The beds were so comfortable and the A/C and ceiling fan kept the room cool. The guest house is above an unused garage and surrounded by a beautiful garden. It was also just a 10 min. walk from any number of restaurants, bars, cafes, and shopping. Sylvia herself is a very friendly and caring host. She provided us with snacks and cold beers, and we got to play with her sweet dogs. This was the best possible experience we could have hoped for. We highly recommend Sylvia's guest house!

  • Sylvia's place was perfect for our second SXSW! The location couldn't be better and Sylvia herself was super-helpful in giving us directions and accommodating our late arrival. She even offered us a ride to the airport on our departure! The apartment itself has a powerful a/c and lovingly-maintained and stocked bathroom (shampoos, lotions and sunscreen) and kitchen (coffee, teas and oatmeal). We will definitely be back!

  • Came for work (SXSWi) and had a great time – Sylvia was really easy to get ahold of and made sure we had everything we needed. The unit was exactly as described and we had everything we needed for our stay. We'd definitely stat again!

  • We had a great time staying at Sylvia's garage apartment. Very comfortable beds, everything sparkling clean, coffee provided, and beer in the fridge! The location was great for walking to nightlife downtown, but also very quiet for a good night's sleep. .Sylvia herself was warm and welcoming and we loved her dogs! Highly recommended!

  • Being a first time user of airbnb we were excited for the new experience. And I am here to testify that Sylvia far exceeded our expectations. I hope that all other experiences that we have on airbnb will be as nice as it was with Sylvia. Thank you for the great conversation and the clean place you share. YOU ROCK SYLVIA !!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • About: I am a licensed Real Estate Broker. I have my own company, Armadillo Realty. I attended The University of Texas at Austin and fell in love with the small town that it was back in 1979; I have been here every since. I love the Art, Music and Film scene here in Austin. There is so much natural beauty to enjoy as well. I especially enjoy Barton Springs Pool in the summertime along with the Zilker Hillside theater productions. SXSW, Austin City Limits Festival and the East Austin Art Studio Tour are among my favorite events. I also enjoy a sunset cruise on my canoe to Congress bridge to see the Mexican Freetail Bats come out for their nightly feeding.
