As we approached Gina and Aaron's place, we were greeted by a cat, Gina and Aaron's awesome cat Izzy in fact, and a friendly cat is always a good sign. Gina and Aaron are warm, inviting hosts, very easygoing folks with great advice on what to do in Austin. Their place is lovely and the bedroom was super comfy. The walk to downtown is about 20 minutes, but feels light and easy. Definitely recommend if you want to spend some time in Austin.
