Where do I start! Victoria was such a lovely host. Austin was a great and fun city, but I have to say that Victoria is what made our experience wonderful. My partner and I stayed with her for 5 days and on our last day, we did not want to say goodbye. Her home was such a warm and cozy environment. Changa and Buddha, her two dogs, were full of love and friendliness that I almost packed them up with me =) On our first night there, Victoria made us a delicious meal when we got hungry, and every morning after that she had yummy breakfast burritos waiting in the fridge for us. Outside on her front porch she had a sign that read "my home is your home" and Victoria really lived up to that. We never once felt like strangers in a stranger'a home. The second we arrived she greeted us with a warm hug. On our fourth day there, she accompanied us in downtown where they were having Cinco de Mayo festivities. We had a refreshing beverage at a really cool restaurant, and then later on we had dinner at a very tastey diner. Victoria was a very thoughtful host; always making sure we felt comfortable. She was an absolute delight. Her home has become our home away from home whenever we visit Austin, and she has even become a friend to us. May I also mention that we are now the tios to two precious little animals. (We miss you Changa and Buddha!)
I highly recommend staying at Victorias home. It was an absolute joy!
