Carol and Darrell were super gracious hosts, and were more than willing to give advice on things to do in Austin, share a meal, or just chat. Their house is really nice and clean and in a great neighborhood that was very nice to jog in. The place is only a short walk to the bus stop where buses can be taken to downtown or anywhere else in the city. I was there while it got quite cold, and they provided a space heater. Additionally, the Austin water plant wasn't working and they kept a steady supply of boiled water for drinking or cooking, which was great. If I were in Austin again, I would definitely stay here!
