I really enjoyed my stay at Sid's place. The room is great & there is a fantastic ensuite bathroom as well. Sid was very communicative before my trip, even though he was in Australia at the time of my arrival, and his mother very kindly followed up on the phone to confirm the details for key pick up, and so forth (this was actually very welcome as I was on the road, my temporary cell died & operating without Internet access).

I only met Andrew not Sarah in the three days I was visiting, and he was a lovely guy with a very cute (large) dog. Unfortunately I couldn't take up his offer of going for a few beers because I had to be up early the next day for my flight, but he made me feel very welcome throughout my stay.

One thing prospective visitors might like to bear in mind is that Austin is a city where having access to a car makes your life much easier. Sid's place is about a 6-10 min drive from downtown, which means if you don't have a car you'll have to schlep it via public buses (using Uber/Lyft to get in out is decent options if you can afford them for a short stay).

In summary, a great Airbnb experience & would definitely recommend to anyone visiting the wonderful city of Austin.
