Chris is a pro host. It's no surprise he has a special designation. He responds quickly and knows Austin like the back of his hand. I've never seen customer service at his speed and warmth.

The photos are accurate, so the design is funky and fun like Austin. The cottage is old, and it's definitely a cottage. So expect a small, cozy, older cottage...almost like a cabin with an excellent decorator.

The location to South Congress and 1st street is fantastic. Heck, I've parked almost this far away because parking in that area of town is so tight...so grrrrrreat location.

Unfortunately we left without sleeping there. There were a couple of electrical outlets/swtiches that were open with exposed wires. It didn't seem safe (especially in the bathroom where you might be wet). We got nervous about leaving the dogs there in case there was a fire hazard.

With that said, Chris handled our reaction like a champ. He refunded our stay and sent out a contractor to check out the situation. I couldn't ask for a better reaction from Chris and Airbnb.

And the fact that we could bring our two dogs in the first place was really cool. That's why we picked it.
