I had a great stay at Tracey's house! The room was comfortable and clean, and Tracey was extremely helpful. She accommodated both my late arrival and late departure, and she even let me use her laptop charger when I realized I had forgotten mine! I was in Austin for work, so I didn't have much time to explore, but she gave me some nice recommendations of things to do and places to eat. There are food trucks and a sweet little Mexican restaurant just around the corner from her house. In terms of location, I think it depends on what you'll be doing and whether or not you have a car. I didn't rent a car, and I needed to get downtown everyday for work, and this was a bit more difficult than I expected. I rode the bus once and used Fasten (one of Austin's Uber-replacement-apps) to get around, but I didn't feel comfortable walking all the way along a busy street, and I love walking (but maybe there is a better route I don't know about). However, if you're in Austin as a tourist, it's ideal as you're in the middle of a cool neighborhood. Overall, I highly recommend this place!
