Imagine the most inviting, awesome hosts you can think of, and you'll be nowhere close to the experience you will have if stay with Sid and Marie. I had a fantastic time staying with them for several months at their excellent house in Austin. Sid and Marie are a font of knowledge about great food and things to do in Austin, the house is convenient to downtown and the east side, and my experience was all-around excellent. I'd give them 10 stars if I could.
