I really enjoyed my stay, including that there is a separate office area I didn't expect. I was able to work without disturbing anyone, for which I was very thankful. The parking was great, and the apartment is fabulous. All the refrigerated bottled water was a lovely added bonus, along with coolers and ice packs available for use. The price was very reasonable and I was downright thrilled with the accommodations!

About the host

Hosted by Alecia Robertson

Host profile image
Hi, I’m a local host based in Abilene, Texas, and I enjoy welcoming guests to The Back Porch. I take pride in providing a clean, comfortable, and inviting space where guests can relax and feel at home, whether they’re visiting family, traveling for work, attending school, or just passing through.
I appreciate the little details that make a stay enjoyable, from a cozy place to unwind to thoughtful amenities that add convenience and comfort. Hosting gives me the opportunity to connect with people from all walks of life and help make their time in Abilene a positive experience.
My goal is to offer a peaceful and welcoming place where guests can feel comfortable throughout their stay. I look forward to hosting you!

Why they chose this property

We purchased our home with a small attached apartment that has its own private entrance, and we thought it would be a great opportunity to host guests. We truly enjoy living here and are excited to share that experience with others.

What makes this property unique

Our property stands out because it offers a combination of comfort, privacy, and thoughtful touches that guests value. The attached apartment with its own private entrance gives visitors a sense of independence while still being part of a welcoming home environment.

Its convenient location—especially being close to places like ACU and local dining—makes it practical for travelers, while the cozy, clean, and well-maintained space makes it feel like home rather than just a place to stay. Small details, like providing essentials and creating a comfortable atmosphere, add to the overall experience.
