Staying at the tech professional house has been a wonderful experience, and its location is close enough to downtown to be convenient while avoiding having that overcrowded feeling you get by being in downtown. As a host, Martin has been wonderful and very responsive, and the people who stay here make it a wonderful place to live, work and play. For anyone who wants a co-op experiences, I highly recommend staying here when you're in Austin, and every Sunday, the community dinners are both delicious and a lot of fun. I'll be staying here again the next time I come to Austin for an extended period.
