Host responds very quickly to any questions and gives great suggestions of places to explore. A bicycle is an excellent way to explore Austin... So bring your own or rent a nice fixie from the host.
The house is an easy bike to many wonderful things in the town. The house is far enough away from the central area that it feels safe. (Some parts of Austin can be a little dodgy.)
I wish the apartment had an electric kettle for making tea. There are pots and pans, but I didn't find a cook top. Maybe I missed it? Ok almost complained that there was no refrigerator, but then realized the "amplifier stack" was a refrigerator in disguise.
Great place. Thanks!
