Mike's house is just fantastic.

It's in a gorgeous (and very safe) part of Austin which has a history going back over 150 years. It's leafy. It's quiet. It's beautiful.

I like walking and it's about a 40 minute walk from Polo Road to downtown which is ideal in the morning, especially given the neighbourhoods you walk through. Cabs back from downtown are about $10.

The house has everything you could need and is tastefully decorated to a very high standard. The beds are especially comfortable.

As a host, Mike was outstanding and even provided the use of one of his bikes to help me get around for the duration of my stay.

I'll definitely book with Mike again.
