This Airbnb is a great deal for Austin and you can tell the host cares about the apartment and carefully oversees maintenance between guests. The host was also super responsive. The AC was great and the building felt safe and the apartment is surrounded by fun restaurants and bars.
The immediate area around the apartment feels safe and I think it would be fine as long as you have a car or are willing to Uber, however, I wouldn’t necessarily recommend the area if you are a solo traveler hoping to walk around Austin. The walks to most popular spots were a bit sketchy. I tried to walk to 6th street and ran into someone with a knife a block from the apartment. I ubered around after that but I will say that Ubers are relatively cheap in Austin so it wasn’t too expensive.
