Larry's place was absolutely perfect for our group of four plus dogs. It was spacious and light-filled and in a great location for our purposes. The design of his home is so very Austin! And much of Larry's personality shows up in his home - neat guy. :) I hate we didn't get a chance to meet. We loved all of the watercolor paintings everywhere. In fact, I went around looking at each. Beautiful. Even the ones tacked up in one of the smaller bedrooms - beautiful. It was raining when we arrived, so we were careful to wipe the dogs' feet as they came in from the backyard, but were thankful for the washable rug at that door. Larry's sofas are light-colored, and we certainly didn't want to get stains on them. I wish that we'd had more time in Austin, more time to enjoy this cool, comfortable home. Thank you, Larry, for such an enjoyable stay!
