Carol and Darrell have a lovely home, funky is a great word to describe their neighborhood, in the best possible way. Carol was available to provide any tip you might need to make Austin a favorite place to visit. Their home is short walking distance to the bus stop ( great option besides Uber or Lyft if you have a little extra time for your commute). There was plenty of reading material in your room to learn about all Austin has to offer. The room was so comfortable, a desk to work at, an extremely comfortable bed and your own air conditioner to control how cool or warm you like. Coffee was available every morning as well as a quick bite for those on the run. If I ever make it back to Austin, Carol's home will be the first place I will look to stay. Thank you for a great trip!
