Michele was the PERFECT host. She was kind, helpful and I am not shy to admit that her Texas-sized hospitality is what finally made my husband and I realize that we belong in Texas. We had come to SXSW to evaluate whether we'd like to move to Ausitn, and after staying with MIchele in her beautiful house, we decided at the end of the trip to move to Austin. The house was clean and centrally-located. Her cat, Treat, was wonderful little host as well. The most awesome thing about Michele's place was the price. We booked it in the MIDDLE of SXSW and she could have easily jacked up the price like everyone else in Austin, but she did not. It was about 1/5th of the price of a comparable place. If you are coming to Austin, you MUST stay with Michele!
