Peter is a friendly guy who has gone to a lot of effort to make the place homely and provides everything from coffee, popcorn, toothpaste and even cold and flu tablets.
However, please note this is not an entire place as advertised. It is a room with an ensuite on the side of Peter's house with a private entrance. Access to the rest of the house is blocked off, which is fine but it is not the entire place and you can hear each other and you meet Peter. I think this should be clearer in the listing.
The room is located in a quiet and safe neighbourhood. At first we didn't think the location was great, but once we got to know Austin better there is a good coffee shop on the street and a bagel place round the corner. Some nice bars/restaurant and BBQ place about a 10 minute walk away and a similar distance to the nicer end of 6th street with more bars.
