Susanna's home is stunning and ideally suited to many great things that Austin has to offer. She provides a wonderful list of Austin favorites and is a consummate host. It's easy to walk from the property to great restaurants, shopping, galleries, nightlife and Town Lake, yet the neighborhood is quiet and peaceful. She is happy to explain the technology behind the carbon neutral aspects of the house, and the reasons for the design and layout - which is beautifully thought out and well executed. Most importantly, she goes out of her way to make you feel comfortable and welcome, but allows you as much privacy as you like. I had a wonderful, albeit too brief, stay. Thank you so much for being so gracious and welcoming on such short notice, Susanna!
