This was my first Air B and B experience, and I think that I have been spoiled forever by having Sue as my first host!

First, she was in contact from the very beginning - booking my reservation through past my check out. Sue picked me up from the airport - because she was available - and then, when I told her I was a runner and looking for a long run in the morning, she drove me around the neighborhood and pointed out some key spots to see and routes to take.

The accommodations were amazing. Modern and comfortable. Clean and quiet. Snacks! There was an option to use grills and have safe, off street parking - but I did not have time to take advantage of this. It was only a $5.00 Uber ride to downtown, and a 25 minute walk - I do walk fast, though.

I was in town for SXSW and it felt so great to have an affordable option and a place that was close enough to the excitement but also enough removed that I could get away and relax and refresh.

I will be back to Austin for work and for pleasure, and without question, I'll be reaching out to Sue to book the Executive Guest House first.
