It started with a series of text messages helping to ease me into my first Airbnb experience. Everything including instructions were laid out and very easy to follow. I arrived at her home before she returned from work and found a clean welcoming place that looked exactly as advertised. When Theresa made it home and we met, I knew I made a good call. Two hours after that first hello, we wrapped up our conversation after solving most of the problems of Austin and the rest of the world. It was obvious she had this Airbnb hosting down - great guidebook, fast wifi, the fridge with things for me, an immaculate guest room and a bathroom with all the necessities. I travel to Austin regularly but we swapped new places to go and to eat for both of us. The entire weekend, Theresa made what could have been an uncomfortable situation for a 50-something traveler into a fun and different experience - one I wouldn't hesitate doing again.
