Ben was super friendly and flexible, being kind enough to let me drop off my duffel early on the day I'd be staying and to leave me to remain in his apartment the next day as late as I needed.
The apartment itself is very nice and the individual room I stayed in was clean and comfortable. Cabs were tough to find (probably due to SXSW), but the location is only about a 10 minute bus ride (~$2) south of downtown (and the bus stop is just a 30 second walk from the apartment complex).
Overall a great stay!
