Our stay in Clarksville at Arif's place was great. The spot is in the perfect location for Austin and is affordable. Due to it's affordable price, keep in mind that it is not a luxury home. HOWEVER, it was extremely clean and very minimalistic, which can be nice when staying in someone's home vs. the owner leaving a ton of private belongings laying around. The beds were comfortable and all cookware was brand new.
Arif was very responsive and easy to get in touch with. He left us some snacks, a lot of bottled waters and some Topo Chicos -- there is also a great corner store one block away. There were also nice Schwinn bikes for us to use, which is perfect for Clarksville and Austin in general. Another nice amenity was the keycode door vs. having to worry about someone else's keys.
Overall this was a great stay and we highly recommend the home and owner.
