So many small details that make the place comfortable & easy to live in, you can tell that Garret put a good deal of thought into this place. And the same goes for interactions with him. Knowing that I work nights as a nurse and sleep in the day time, he gave me tips he tested out for creating ambient noise to help me sleep well in the day time. I stayed for a month during a particularly cold spell in Austin and it took some time to figure out how to best use the space heaters. Closing the bedroom door w/ the heater on ~30 mins before going to bed and then turning it off ~30 mins after in the room seemed to work well, but it'll be cold when you walk out of the room in the morning. Just anticipate handling the cold for a bit as the heaters take time to get things warm.

To me, in person, the place seemed bigger than the online pictures showed. I felt quite safe in this quiet neighborhood, which is residential, with minimal through-traffic, and very close to a private university campus. The location in general is close to many things in Austin, but not so close that you're paying for it in price & loudness.
