Jason was a great host -- starting with a goodie bag he left to welcome us and a helpful listing of recommendations for restaurants, nightlife and other things to do and see while in Austin. He was super responsive to any questions I had and immediately remedied an issue we had with water pressure in the shower. Once addressed (which, as I said, Jason did right away), the shower was perfect. No further problems at all.

The condo was great. It appeared to be recently updated with new, or virtually new, everything: really nice Crate and Barrel sleeper sofa and chair and a half, new kitchen appliances, dishes, pots and pans, etc. The bed was very comfortable and everything was clean and tidy.

As far as the "shady" description of the neighborhood goes from a previous reviewer, I wouldn't necessarily describe it that way. While it is not in an upscale, fancy neighborhood, we did not feel unsafe nor were we disturbed by any loud music. I did hear the neighbors a little bit from time to time, as one might expect with connected units, but nothing loud enough to bother us at all. My adult daughter and I were quite comfortable staying there. The location was also really convenient -- a short drive to the hot spots in SoCo (a few blocks) and downtown -- and no-hassle parking right outside the unit.

I would definitely stay at Jason's condo again and would recommend it to others.
