Chiaki and his wife were both extremely sweet and made sure I had everything I needed for my stay in Austin. The casita was the perfect size for 1 person living there for a month, and I found it to feel very homey. Since the casita was in the backyard, I woke up to the sound of birds chirping in the morning and the church bell from down the road. It was a very safe neighborhood and I took a walk by myself every morning and never felt unsafe. The rain on the roof at night was so peaceful and the light from the windows in the morning was a perfect way to start my day. Such a great experience with Chiaki and the pink door casita!
