Dan is clearly a great host. Communication is key with AirBnB places and Dan we excellent.

The place was clean and very quiet. It's a backyard garage apartment with a small lower kitchen dining level, and a large bed/bath/living area above. There's a nice deck off the upper level and the home on the front of the lot has a few chickens, which are entertaining to watch! Parking and access to the unit are easy. And access to central Austin and major expressways is a cinch. There is a Starbucks within 200 yards. Central Market, a massive grocery and prepared foods store is within 1/4 mile.

There are a couple drawbacks. First the furnishing although adequate are a bit spartan. Kind of shabby chic, retro garage sale stuff. It's all functional and has a cool vibe, but it is a bit dated.

Second the access is via an alley. Parking is in the alley, where many other people park. So that's OK, but it's an alley. So along with the view of the chickens in the backyard one gets a view of the garbage cans in the alley.

All in all I would definitely recommend Dan's place. The location, seclusion, and comfort are great. The outdoor deck is great to have, and as I stated Dan is a great host.
