Mari and Danny were excellent hosts! They were incredibly sweet and welcoming. They even left me chips and salsa for when I arrived and Texas beer in the fridge. The little touches were wonderful additions that made a great stay even better! Their communication was thorough and timely. They left me helpful notes so I'd have what I needed. I didn't have to think or ask for anything, they thought of it all before hand.
The pigs, ducks, and chickens were part of the reason I choose their place, so it wasn't something I'd thought much about but lots of friends were asking me questions about that so I thought it was worth talking about here. Their home is incredibly clean. The animals are mainly outside. The piggies come in at night. I wouldn't stay in a house with dogs, because people sometimes are more used to their dogs jumping up on people than I appreciate. The pigs are much better behaved than any dogs I've been around.
I'd highly recommend staying with them and hope I have the opportunity to do so next time I'm in Austin!
