We stayed at Brian's place for a week and loved it. The place is extremely clean and well-appointed. Brian was very responsive and made sure we had everything we needed for our stay. The house is also very close to the bus which is super convenient for getting to the city (about 10 min). The neighbourhood wasn't great but we got the feeling that pretty much all of Austin is the same. Overall we had a great time with at Brian's place and would definitely stay again!
