F1 Track, ACL, Bungalow - Historic Bastrop

ElaineRating, 5 stars19 months ago

This Airbnb was our home-away-from-home for 6-weeks. Quiet and peaceful location. We appreciated Michael's excellent communication, as he answered all our questions and let us know when someone was coming to service the property. Strong wifi which ran my home office while husband streamed movies and surfed the net. And, our cats enjoyed walking outside in the morning, and staring out the windows in the evenings. This was the perfect retreat for us while our home was being renovated. Highly recommend!
