Kevin and Bob were super-cool, Superhosts. We were welcomed to Austin in the best possible way, with a comfortable, nicely-furnished-with-vintage-decor, upstairs flat to relax in and figure out our next move. All of their many suggestions for dining and fun were spot on. Also, Kevin made sure we were comfortable in little ways, like making sure we both had umbrellas for the AMAZING thunderstorms providing our soundtrack for a day or so. We had coffee and tea for our mornings, beer in the fridge, and most importantly, a friendly, laid-back atmosphere, just right for landing in Austin for a family function. Wow, their neighborhood is a gem. MANY cool places to eat and drink and socialize with the locals, within walking distance. And I mean just a few blocks, really close. Also, their place is situated so that it is really easy to drive anywhere. The freeway is close, but not at all noticeable by noise, and the airport is easy to come in from and get to. It was very easy for travel. Their animals are fun to hang out with, too, and also laid-back. Ella the dog, Frannie the cat and their two well-socialized chickens were a pleasure to sit with while drinking beer in the backyard. Really, totally chill. Kevin and Bob made our trip way more fun and social than it might have been, otherwise. We would stay with them in the future. Definitely.
