This place would be great in the summer. I came here during a freeze though and the shared hostel room did not really have heat and often got down to the low 50s. There are mini heaters but they will only keep half your body warm unless you curl in a ball. This is most likely just a trip specific issue since austin is usually not that cold. The shower has a marking to mark where you should turn it to and is said to heat up in 5minutes but no matter how long you wait it will only get to Luke warm which wouldn’t be an issue with the summer heat but it was really cold outside so it wasn’t ideal. The bus system is good here though with just a quick walk to bus 18 which will take you downtown where you can transfer to most other buses. I was here 2 weeks and the cleaner came once but after guests came and left the blankets were never changed or made back up. The host was very nice and responsive though.
