Since I was traveling alone and don't know Austin, I wanted to make sure I felt safe and in a nice community. I felt 100% safe and my host Heather was awesome. She always made sure I had everything I needed and was available by text/phone anytime. The casita is separate from the house so you have your own privacy. Heather also provided a book to give you suggestions on where to eat and places to go. The casita is comfortable, I loved the large windows, beautiful shower and bathtub. I will be back again. Thanks again Heather, you made me feel comfortable.
