Rich's place is great. It's a 5 min walk to Juice Land and Benne Coffee (the later is open 24hrs), and a quick 10-12 min bike/scooter ride or a 5-7min car ride into downtown Austin. Located on a quiet street, it's great for running and you're easily out of the bustle of downtown. It's also near a bunch of great restaurants on the east side of Austin. I would stay there again on my next trip to Austin.
