Sylvia is a hostess who is gracious and helpful beyond words! First of all, she wanted to know about our plans and answered all of the questions we had about the city via email before we arrived. She picked us up from the airport and had a handful of maps and magazines about Austin. Her guest house is spotless, adorably decorated, and complete from soap to movies. The neighborhood is charming, and walking distance to cool spots. (We lucked out because her schedule allowed her to show us around the city.) 5 Texas stars!
