Pixie reached out to me well before I arrived, even though I booked only seven hours before arriving! He is a very welcoming and thoughtful host. We liked everyone we met there, Pixie, his girlfriend, the other guests, the dogs - it was a pleasant environment in which to stay.

I have those good things to say despite the fact that the trip was a little bit of a disaster, arriving in Austin and leaving with flood watches, park closures, road closures going on all around!

Pixie's place is located a little off the beaten path. It feels a little more like being in the country, with no sidewalks on the road and a little bit bigger yards for many homes than you see closer in toward town. Having said that, you are still a very quick drive to everything, and we walked each morning over to Radio Coffee to sample their delicious coffee and the breakfast tacos at the taco truck.

The bed and the room were cozy, despite the rains we took advantage of the nice back deck and my dog got along well with the host dogs.

Pixie deservedly got the superhost badge, he is just a pleasant person and I think that in addition to the comfortable stay future guests will enjoy interacting with him.
