Julie’s home is beautiful and optimally located. It is clean and comfortable with well chosen ornate decor. She is a consummate host that knows the area well. She provides coffee and healthy snacks. Beyond that she offers intelligent and insightful conversation. She has lived well and long and her kindness and warmth can be enjoyed over the coffee she’s set up for you to enjoy. Julie is the type of host that exemplifies why services like Airbnb are so important to the human experience. Not only do they offer affordable, unique places to stay, but they offer connection. Real, meaningful connection. Our stay with Julie was memorable and delightful. We will return whenever we are in Austin.
