Michele is over and above what could be hoped for in a hostess. She made me feel welcome immediately and shared lots of interesting info about Austin and her neighborhood. The bedroom was very comfortable. It is a really cute neighborhood but not too far from some fun shops, coffeeshop, music store, bar, etc. and close to bus routes that took me downtown. I had a great time with Michele and her cat and would definitely stay there again and recommend it to anyone visiting Austin for the first (or second, third, etc.) time.
