Linda and her pup, King, are very gracious hosts. There was a situation on my first of three nights staying that made my stay less than perfect but Linda went out of her way to make up for it and has taken corrective action to keep it from happening again. The bed is very comfortable and everything was as described. Conversation with Linda was great and King is the sweetest - however Linda is very accommodating with keeping him out of your way if you're more comfortable that way (she checked with me explicitly before letting him out of her room). You also get complete privacy if that's more your thing - I got a bit of both which is perfect for me. I'll definitely check availability next time I'm planning a trip to Austin as my experience was great.
