We have never met a host in previous Airbnb stays but we must say it was a nice addition to the experience. Daniel's accommodations seemed larger than pictured and the yard is beautiful. He is a gracious host, there was more than we would have expected in food and beverages in the frig. He is also very knowledgeable about Austin for newbies. The location is awesome for Zilker Park. Barton Springs, S. Lamar and S. Congress, some of our favorite places.
