I stayed here for two weeks and Elizabeth and David were AWESOME! They really capture everything that comes to mind when you think of the phrase "southern hospitality." I was welcomed and shown around and told to make myself at home. She gave me my own shelf in the fridge and freezer, let me put my blender on the countertop and cook in the kitchen, and had towels and soap and all kinds of other goodies waiting for me in my room.

Their house is about 25 minutes north-west of downtown, just an easy drive down 183 & TX-1 to get to. The room itself was clean and private and comfortable, and had a TV with cable, a desk (and wifi) and a microwave. There is a man that stays with them who I shared a bathroom with, but he was not home very much. I also had my own little parking space in front of the house, and their dog Donnie is really calm and gentle, he got along with my (senior) dog just great.

In addition to all of that, they took me to the Alamo Cinema Drafthouse to go see a movie with them, invited me to go for a hike with them, AND let me take home this little stool that my dog had been using to help him get up on the bed. Seriously way beyond the extra mile!

If you are thinking of coming to Austin (and assuming you have a car or other means of transportation) then you will love staying here. This was my first experience on AirBNB; it was great and I feel like now I can honestly say "I have friends in Austin!" :)
