Wonderful place and extremely clean! The host were very responsive and attentive. Pictures don’t do their place justice, it was even better in person! The Airbnb was fully stocked with everything that you can need. Would recommend 10/10!!!

What a fabulous find Arete was! It was in the perfect location and is in a beautiful and peaceful setting. It was clean, spacious, and comfortable. Bill and Rita are such kind and caring hosts too. We will stay again soon, since we visit the south side of Austin frequently!

We had the most lovely stay. The home was so clean and welcoming and beautiful - we had coffee on the porch each morning listening to the birds and enjoying the peacefulness. We can’t wait to come back - will definitely stay here next time we visit Austin.

We had a wonderful stay at Rita and Bill’s place. The home was exactly as shown in the pictures, clean, comfortable, and well-kept. The hosts were very responsive and proactive, greeting us upon arrival and making sure we had everything we needed. They also checked in during our stay to ensure everything was going well. Overall, a very nice place and great hospitality. Highly recommend!

Bill and Rita made me feel at home and like family. They also communicated VERY well. I had a surgery while in town, and I felt more comfortable knowing they were my hosts. The house was one of the most well-stocked of any AirBnB I have stayed at. We enjoyed the close proximity to nature and to the city - perfect location! I want to come back and bring more family with me!

Bill and Rita are fantastic hosts and are the examples of what a caring host should be. Arete Stay is the perfect place to stay if you are looking for a second home while away. It is fully equipped to handle any family and friend gathering with plenty of room inside and outside. We appreciate this place and will definitely be staying here again as we visit Austin regularly.

This was a 10 out 10 experience. Peace and quiet, rest and relaxation, and world class hospitality all rolled up in to one when it comes to Bill and Rita’s home. Two great hosts! Can’t wait to stay at Arete Stay again in the future.
