This room is a great value and Chalu is a great host.
I've stayed at a few places in Austin, and here's what I can say:
– The facilities are very good. There's a great kitchen, washer, etc. This is very convenient if you're staying more than a few days.
– It's fairly close to downtown Austin (although not extremely close).
– Chalu is very responsive. There was a bit of a snag my first night there, and Chalu communicated well about it, took action quickly, and managed the issue.
The stay was good enough that I've actually booked another stay there later this month.
Definitely recommended.
