If you stumble into Austin and are lucky enough to have the opportunity to stay with Jacob, absolutely do so. After numerous failed attempts at contacting other hosts in the area, I was feeling extremely discouraged. After submitting a request to Jacob, I received a response within five minutes. FIVE MINUTES. I forgot to mention I was sitting in a coffee shop downtown with no place to go. Jacob not only came to the rescue, but also exceeded my expectations with both his hospitality and the place itself. It's spacious, comfortably sleeps four (large bed in the bedroom & pull-out coach in the living room), impeccably clean, and has far more than you need (Hmm, stable WiFi, safe parking off the street, a keypad so no worrying about misplacing a key, a private entrance, a full kitchen including an electric boiler and french press, shampoo & body wash in the bathroom, every brochure/magazine/local newspaper you would ever need to instantly fall in love with Austin, a ridiculously comfortable bed, two adorable pugs... to name a few). I stayed a total of three nights, and Jacob made a point to check-in throughout that time to see if there was anything I needed in regard to the space, tips, recommendations, etc. While he was always there to respond (immediately), he was not obtrusive or pushy. The location is fantastic as well. It never took more than fifteen minutes to get where we wanted to go. Plus, the bus station is super close right down the street. Next time I'm in Austin, I will not hesitate to stay here again... and again.
