When I was looking for a place to stay in Austin, I had a complicated list of needs: 1) Close to a park near the river, 2) walkable to East Side restaurants and such, 3) a kitchen for cooking so that I wouldn't spend too much money at those restaurants, 4) an outdoor area such a yard/porch for enjoying the winter sun, and 4) affordability. Received all of that and more with Shawn's place. Shawn is also a kind, responsive person. What's not to like?
