Omar's place is in a perfect location - just a 10-15 minute drive downtown. We primarily used car2go to get around, and it was usually easy to find one within a 10-15 minute walk (plus, if we parked one outside the apartment overnight, it was often still there in the morning). Though it was right on campus, noise really wasn't an issue, and we happened to stay there on move-in weekend, so it was probably even a little more busy than normal. The bedroom was comfortable. The sofa bed is a typical sofa bed - maybe a little creaky, but the mattress itself really wasn't bad.

Omar himself is an excellent host. When we arrived, I had an issue with the shower and some linens, and he went above and beyond to make it right - coming by the next day to do a thorough cleaning and checking in daily to make sure we were comfortable. We never got to meet in person, but he was always super accessible and helpful.

Overall, this is a good option for for traveling college students or anyone looking for a budget-friendly place to crash in Austin!
