Communication from Rachael was awesome. Airbnb pushed messages to my phone via text (great because I am always mobile) - so not really sure of my replied via text went though back to her or not - but I loved that feature.
House is pretty much EXACTLY as pictured. There is a giant picnic able on the back patio, and a nice swing in the backyard as well (the kind two people can sit on - like a porch swing). These weren't pictured, but were nice bonuses.
They left a nice note with WIFI password and a 6 pack of a Texas beer in the fridge, which I thought was a nice touch. Overall I would definitely recommend, loved the house/hosts.
