Cynthia and Jim were gracious hosts. My sister-in-law and I truly enjoyed our stay. My entire experience from pre-booking until the very end was so smooth and seamless. Cynthia was very responsive to all my questions leading up to my trip and was extremely detail in all of her instructions. On the first day, Cynthia and Jim welcomed us with homemade banana bread, coffee, and they even generously stocked up the fridge with fruit juice, water, and beer as well as other light snacks. Cynthia even accommodated me with an early check-in due to my conference meetings on the first day. Even sweeter - her and Jim fixed me a homemade margarita when they learned I've had a long day at the conference meetings. It was so much fun chatting with Cynthia and getting her local tips and about Austin. Their home is conveniently located near downtown (about a 20 mins walk) and nearby shops and great eateries. They have two therapy dogs, Sparky and Tango, who were absolutely adorable!
