Our stay at Garret's place was really nice. It was clean, comfortable and even stocked with a few beers he left in the fridge for us. He also let us use a couple of his bikes since we didn't have a car, and they worked out great for us. We were able to get around town easily from his place. It was maybe a 10-15 minute bike ride to downtown, and there were lots of great places to eat and drink that were within biking distance.

Garret was very easy to work with and gave us some great recommendations on places to go and things to do. He was out of town when we arrived, but stopped by later in our stay to help us with a flat bike tire. He seemed like a nice guy and was really helpful.

Though, overall our stay was great, there were just a couple negatives. Right before we arrived a cold front moved in to Austin and it got pretty cold. The place had two space heaters, but it wasn't quite enough to keep it at a cozy temperature. Something you probably don't need to worry about normally in Austin, but it was quite a bit colder than usual this time of year. On the plus side he had plenty of blankets on the bed to keep us warm at night.
