Carol sets a high bar, there are so many aspects of her home and hospitality to appreciate. As a former Austinite, I can speak authoritatively how special and "Austin" her place is. It is very central (only 5 minutes by car to downtown) and right off the Interstate that will take you easily to other notable places. She has made a special effort in providing many amenities. But what I especially like is how "Austin-y" her home is. Visitors will get a taste of the town before it became a destination for the rest of the country.
