Ben's place is great! It is exactly as depicted in the photos. Super clean and Ben is a very gracious and available host. A five minute walk from his place is a pedestrian/bike trail that runs along the Colorado River that was great for a morning run. I also took advantage and rented one of Ben's kayaks for a nice trip up the river to Barton Creek and back. Ben was really helpful with this as well as he loaded up the kayak and took it down to the let in for me as well as came back (within minutes) when I returned and loaded it back up and gave me a lift back to the house. There are several top quality food trucks and restaurants within walking distance of the house too. Ben's suggestions were spot on. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend to anyone visiting Austin.
