AirBnB
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
It’s my pleasure to offer my overwhelming positive recommendation for future short term rental of the 808 Spence Street house.
I’ve been familiar with the location of the 808 Spence house for some time now as the elegant cozy house in downtown Austin. Ray Vasquez the owner of the house has demonstrated both responsibility and entrepreneurial spirit in the up-keeping and maintenance of the house.
This house has a very special significance because this house is proof that it is possible for the Latino community to stay in a changing urban core by meeting new challenges with resourcefulness. Mr. Vasquez has been able to avoid the displacement of another Mexican American homeowner by working with AirBnB.
Ray was a wonderful and accommodating host. He not only allowed me to film a movie in his AirBnB but also allowed me to use a section of his own home for extra scenes in the movie. I felt like a had my own film studio at Ray’s house.
Ray’s house at 808 Spence Street is an asset to the community and I know future short term guests will truly enjoy their stay at this downtown home that is full of history and culture and at the same time located in the heart of the bustling downtown entertainment district.
Sincerely,
Diane Revilla
