Tashara always responded within MINUTES of my messages. I added a guest (my mom) after staying one night, and she was very understanding. AirBNB overcharged me and she even called them to fix the price so I wasn't overcharged. I thought that really showed her character -- I didn't know the price of extra guests for sure, and she easily could've cheated me, but she didn't.
Binx (her cat) is so friendly and cute! I'm more of a dog-lover myself, but Binx was very sweet, and her home didn't smell of cats (it smelled AMAZING!). Her place is very neat and tidy, and she even has a microwave in the room! It's the small things that go a long way.
Tashara was very warm and charming when I met her -- which I appreciate! Hosts don't have to talk or be welcoming, but it is always so appreciated. Her co-host (Alvin) is also so nice! It was a pleasure to stay here, and my mom and I will be back here next time we stay in Austin!
