Our trip to Austin didn't start out exactly like we had planned but Cecily and Phil made everything so great and we ended up having a fantastic time in Austin. They are incredibly warm and positive people. We enjoyed everything about our stay with them from the wonderful breakfast and coffee to the interesting conversations about travel, food, and culture. The room was very comfortable (one of the most comfortable futons ever!) and clean and their location is very close to shopping, restaurants, and sightseeing. The overall value is great and they gave us a key to their unit so we could come and go as we pleased. We felt very safe in their neighborhood. I highly recommend staying with Cecily and Phil if you are staying in Austin and want to explore the downtown area. It's a great place to stay and you will not be disappointed!
