I would consider Greg to be my first friend formed in Austin.
I flew in late with two heavy bags as I was moving in from a different country and he was up to greet me and made sure I felt welcome at his home.
I got to meet Charlie, the cutest dog who lit up the place even more. Greg is extremely kind, approachable and very friendly. We connected over music, even got to see his band practice which I was lucky to see. He walked me through some of the good places to have food, listen to good music and areas to go hiking/exploring.
All in all, I highly recommend anyone coming in to Austin to stay at Greg's place as it's one of those little gems with awesome interior design, instruments (if you're into jamming), a comfy bed and ample amenities.
