Joe met us when we arrived and both he and Susan made us feel very welcome. They had an excellent bottle of wine for us to enjoy, snacks, delicious coffee and fridge stocked with water. You can tell that they really put a lot of thought into making guests feel as comfortable as possible. They were more than willing to give us recommendations on places to have dinner, get drinks and things to do in Austin...most were within walking distance from the loft. Definitely try the taco truck a couple of blocks away and cocktails at Weather Up. We plan on coming back and enjoying another stay with them!
