Ben was very conscientious about making sure we landed at his place with information to help us be comfortable at his place and be familiar with the surroundings. We had never been to Austin, so that was especially nice. His location is very convenient to the main restaurant and entertainment district and he had personal recommendations for eating and even swimming holes. His condo is very clean and pleasant with a contemporary decor. I liked it a lot. The bus can pick you up down on the corner and take you around town. And there are plenty of bike rental places in the neighborhood too.
