Staying in Nate’s home was a good getaway. If you need the peace and quiet then this is a place for you! It’s really quiet and you barely even hear anyone else. It’s about 15-20 mins from downtown & if using lyft or Uber rides. It can add up to 12-20$ depending on the time of day. I used the bus and it was about 30-40 mins, 2.50$ for unlimited swipes for the day to and from downtown which was not that bad. It was a little walk from the house but it was doable. You pretty much just have access to the bedroom & shared restroom which isn’t to bad if you just need a place to sleep in. Suggestion: try not to eat in the bedroom if you don’t want any bugs/ insects crawling in. It was a nice experience staying in Austin for the first time.
