My experience at Kims house was amazing! The location could not have been any better for exploring Austin. Her home is beutifully decorated and a peaceful retreat. There is a massage chair that I took advantage of after a long day of walking through the city. Kim is such a gracious host. Not only was she available with any questions about the city, but she is a wealth of knowledge too! I was greeted with a warm hug when we first met each other at the door, and told that a Hula Hoop lesson was in store for me! Kim also offered me a ride if I needed to get somewhere in the city, if she was available, which was above & beyond what I would have expected from a host. I did take her up on that offer to get a ride to the airport when I left town. I was so sad to leave Kims house & her warm hospitality. I will be back to Austin soon, and there is no other home or person I would rather stay with than Kim! The house is situated on a busy street in Austin, so there is a bit of street noise. But that is normal for being in a wonderful location in the city. You can walk to several food trucks & restaurants right outside the front door which proved to be very helpful. I left Kims home feeling like part of her own family and I cant wait to go back for another visit! THANK YOU KIM! YOU ARE THE BEST! :)
