Staying at Pixie's place in Austin was nothing less than a delight! The house itself is spacious, airy, and beautiful. The decor enhances one's visit--especially the book collections on display in different areas of the house. The kitchen is highly functional and convenient, with all of the best and modern appliances. I also appreciated the balcony patio out back, and the view of the lush foliage in the neighbourhood, as well as the variety of sweet doggies playing in their yards, was tranquil and lovely.
My room was comfortable and pleasingly neutral, with a full closet to use. The bathroom was very nice as well, but just outside of the room. I probably would try to be more conscious of leaving my stuff in the bathroom since it also served as the downstairs bathroom for others and the host all concurrently. That would be the only item that is less than perfect at this Airbnb spot.
Now, the host is a remarkably interesting and enlightened gent with the sweetest of all canines as a son. Pixie (Kris) is as accommodating as can be, and his conversational skills are wonderful. He also is quite able to make himself rather invisible during the stay, I suspect in part to provide the privacy one might be seeking. During my stay, I was endeavouring to do some painting on canvas to get back in touch with my artistic side, and Kris was encouraging plus respectful of my need to set up to paint in the dining room.
I will definitely want to stay here again. It was 99% perfect.
