Michele made me feel very welcome on my arrival and took me to the local supermarket to collect some supplies!

She was very helpful and passionate about Austin and was keen to pass on suggestions about places to visit and things to do. She also took me on her "A" tour which was cool as I got to understand Austin even more!

Her house cat is very friendly and will probably sleep in your room if you are willing for her to. Make sure that you open the door for her to come in and out of the house (even though she has a cat flap) as she is a princess after all! :D

I'm not sure that the outdoor shower needs any more praise but it really was lovely (as well as being private). I was fortunate enough to be there while the jasmine was in bloom. A real treat for the senses that i enjoyed while being in the shower and in my room!

The house was clean and tidy. Use of the kitchen was welcomed. Clean towels were provided and the bed was comfortable. Nothing to moan about and I’d happily stay again.

Be sure to sign up to “Lyft” and “Uber” if you haven’t done so already. Taxis were as “cheap” as $5-$7 due to promotional codes (especially when using the pool option) to get to south congress etc from Michele’s home.

P.s. While you are in the area i recommend that you watch a Roller Derby game if one is on. Great fun (as suggested by Michele too- I'd have never known it even existed)!
