I came in to town for a wedding and stayed at the place for less than a day, but was completely comfortable. Benjamin was very welcoming, the studio apartment was roomy and comfortable, and it was equipped with a full kitchen, great bed/bath, and Roku/Netflix. Coming from Los Angeles, I was in awe at how lush Austin is, and the neighborhood around the apartment was quite beautiful. I rushed to the downtown area in the few hours I had to see the city, so I didn't get a chance to see if there were places around the neighborhood to check out, but the apartment is relatively accessible to all parts of the city, if you have a car. I'm always looking for writing retreats myself, and long-term, this would be a fantastic place to get some creative work done.
