Ishrat is such a nice and cool host! She truely cares about creating great experiences for us and gives out amazing recommendations for where to eat and what to see. We had a great time staying with and talking to her.
The room is cozy and you have your own bathroom. The house is not too far from downtown. There's a lovely neighborhood a couple blocks away with amazing local coffee shops and restaurants. You might want to get a car to get around as you would staying anywhere else just because public transportation is not great in Austin. You'll definitely have a fun time in Austin staying with Ish.
