If you need a place to stay in Austin, Rice's place is perfect! It's just north of UT, so if you're going to a class or a football game, the location couldn't be more ideal. It's a lovely neighborhood, and I felt very safe as a solo female traveler. If you have a car, you'll have a great space to park it, but if you don't, no worries, because you can either walk or take a short Uber/Lyft/Bus ride to your destination. Rice has thought of everything, and I DO mean EVERYTHING! The space is handsomely appointed with a bed, kitchen, bathroom, patio, and living area, and a table that can act as a work space, and still has room for a reading nook. Any gadget your heart desires or left at home, you will find. It was so nice to have so many USB outlets available, and conveniently located by the bed! All check in and check out procedures were a breeze, and communication was fantastic. Rice's hospitality was the best I've ever had, he was so friendly, and helped me with my bags, and even gave me some tortillas when I told him I was going to make a quick visit to pick some up to bring to my mom. I highly recommend staying at Gallery House, and can't wait to come back for another visit!
