Let's begin with the fruit salad. Nothing has made us feel more at home than a bowl of fresh fruit waiting in the fridge. What a wonderful way to welcome guests to your home! Our host, Dan, not only stayed up and met us personally when we arrived from our late flight he also provided a map, local newspapers, suggestions and excellent conversation. His four fabulous dogs (in charge of Customer Service) were sweet and attentive. We loved waking up and having Jack, Jill, Pippa and the soulful smiles of Solo greet us in the backyard. The neighborhood is lovely, with easy access to shopping and dining nearby. This was our first trip to Austin and we look forward to coming back!
