I extended my stay a couple of times as my schedule changed; Sam made me feel at home. He maintains a good balance of friendliness, privacy and respect. I met other interesting guests as well which was a bonus to me. The house is spacious and clean, with a nice back yard. The ribs and pulled pork Sam made on many weekends was excellent, and he picked me up when my car was at the mechanic, he’s an all around good guy who cares for everyone’s well being. I lived in Austin for 25 years and wanted to stay in the south part of town to be close to everything I was used to. It is residential and helpful to have your own wheels; the nearest grocery store is almost a mile away. The neighborhood is nice and quiet... Driving to downtown Austin takes probably 20 minutes, FYI.
Definitely an Airbnb pro... whenever I need to stay in South Austin I’ll be checking in with Sam again.
