Although our schedules didn’t overlap much, Mari & Danny were very gracious hosts throughout our visit for SXSW. They left us handwritten notes on the kitchen counter along with a few snacks to feed the charming pet pigs. They offered tips to make our stay more enjoyable including a great recommendation for delicious banh mi sandwiches at a nearby food truck. Their house was totally comfortable and welcoming, and the location was an easy trip on the bus to downtown or a quick Uber ride home at night. Loaner bikes were perfect to explore the East Austin neighborhood. Our last morning, Mari was so generous to offer us a ride in her classic El Camino to meet someone for breakfast all the way across town.
