I cannot say enough good things about my experience staying with Russell. He was very knowledgeable about Austin, and very friendly. He and Coletta showed me around, and I had a great time getting to know them. The room was very clean, comfortable, and felt like home. The neighborhood was very close to downtown and a few great parks and trails. Even though it was so close to so many of Austin's great spots, it was very nice and quiet. I would recommend staying with Russell to anyone looking to stay in Austin.
