Kent was an absolutely amazing host. When we arrived, he greeted us and showed us around, and even let us peek in his workshop! Kent makes very cool light fixtures, and it was awesome to be able to see a little behind the scenes. In our room he had a list of local spots he recommended printed off, and was very knowledgeable about other cool spots to check out in Austin.
Unfortunately, as with every trip, we had a problem pop up with one in our party. Our friend had managed to break his car key, and we were unable to leave on time. Kent was extremely understanding and patient, letting us stay on his property until a mobile keysmith arrived. If I ever find myself visiting Austin again, I'm definitely going to try to stay with Kent. :)
