I had to spend a week in Austin for a brutal three day exam and was looking for a quiet place close to downtown. Shawn's place was perfect. I was able to study from the apartment and walked just a few bucks for some great food (please try Veracruz tacos!). The AC unit was perfect for providing white noise in the evenings. There's also a great juice bar (Juice in a Box) a few blocks away. If you're looking for a simple place that is affordable and perfectly located, this is it. Shawn was also super responsive and her dog, Gigi, was adorable. I will definitely try and stay here again!
