As a first time Airbnb customer, I wasn't really sure what to expect. What I got was a great place to stay, a delightful and very responsive hostess and a great memory of our time spent in Austin. The location was ideal for all the events we attended as part of a week long wedding party. I think the longest drive we had was 17 minutes. Casa Willow is in a very friendly community with terrific neighbors, plenty of restaurants and breweries and a grocery store nearby. The home is more than adequate for a travelers' needs, the rules are fair and any requests from the hostess were easy to comply with. We communicated easily with our hostess for clarifications and were surprised by how quickly she responded each time. It really felt like we knew her well after just a few short exchanges. The living area was comfortable and inviting. The kitchen was well equipped and we easily found what we needed. The beds and pillows were great. The shower has great water pressure and the whole experience was just like being at home. When they say "home away from home", they are talking about Casa Willow and our experience. We hope to return to Austin in the future, and Casa Willow will definitely be part of our plans!
