Carol and Deryl were the perfect hosts for my friend and I's trip to Austin, Texas. We wanted to stay with locals who would welcome us, make us feel at home and tell us their stories of their hometown. Our hosts did just this. We thoroughly enjoyed our conversations about Austin and about life more generally, and at the same time felt we had our privacy and space (the bedroom and bathroom are both of a great size and very clean). The house is very close to local buses into downtown in case one doesn't have a car.

We already miss Carol, Deryl, Austin TX and their friendly parrot! We can't recommend Carol's place enough - and hope to be back someday.
