I stayed in this house for 5 nights, along with 7 co-workers, while attending a conference in downtown Austin.

The house is lovely--very clean, beautifully designed, and very comfortable for cooking meals and hanging out. We loved having fresh eggs from the chickens for breakfast. There is a backyard with patio and chairs that was perfect for having a few drinks in the evening.

Lynn was a fantastic host. She and Ted offered to pick us up from the airport, gave us a great orientation to the neighborhood and the city, and generally made everything very easy and comfortable. The breakfast foods and coffee were unexpected and very good. In short, we couldn't have been happier with our accommodations.

We got around easily by bus to the convention center (less than 10min), and we were so busy that we were fine without a car. It was tricky to catch a bus late at night, as they only run hourly and stop altogether before midnight. But it's not far, so it's reasonable to take a cab. It's less than a mile to the Lady Bird Lake walking/running trails, so that was also a bonus.

We all wished that we could have stayed longer to enjoy Austin and the house. It was so much nicer (and cheaper!) than staying in sterile hotels downtown. Thanks, Lynn and Ted!
