This was my first airbnb experience. It WAY surpassed my expectations. Location was great, house was very comfortable, cozy & clean. Pricing, compared to other forms of lodging, was significantly less than all of the other choices available. Hostess was very friendly, helpful & fun to be around. Pets (dog & cat) were well mannered & precious. But the best part was meeting fellow airbnb folks from several different countries who also chose to stay at this house over the weekend! The conversations, time spent getting to know each other, finding common ground & truly enjoying the energy of new friendships was what BLEW ME AWAY! It would be IMPOSSIBLE for me to be able to experience this kind of amazing weekend vacation in ANY hotel, resort or ocean cruise environment. Nothing else can be said but THANK YOU FOR MAKING OUR WEEKEND IN AUSTIN THE BEST EXPERIENCE I HAVE EVER HAD IN THIS OR ANY OTHER CITY!
