I had a great stay with Freeman. He and I spent a lot of time chatting and we felt very comfortable getting to know each other. Our new "friendship" was my favorite part of my stay. As for the house, the room is simple but the bed was comfortable and the fan helped keep the room cool despite the warm weather. Freeman also told me I could use the livingroom (which had a very large TV) and the kitchen, plus I had my own bathroom. It took me about 20 minutes to drive to downtown Austin (but his house is very near the airport).
