I stayed at Chris's house for 27 days. The room was a separte space with a separate entrance and bathroom. It is a quiet community and safe too. It will take you 30 minites to walk to university of Texas, almost 30 minites to walk to the convention center and 10 mintes to restaurants and CVS pharmacy. Chris also gave me a lift to H.E.B super market twice during my stay. There is Uber drivers one block away working as early as 4:00 in the morning. Overall, it was a nice stay. The only caveat is you need to be not afraid of dogs in order to get to the kithen.
