Staying at Michael's place was a positive experience. He was excellent at responding when I initially contacted him and we chatted on the phone upon my arrival. His space was exactly what I needed. I even had the opportunity to choose the room I wanted, and I chose the one that gave me more privacy with my own bathroom. The neighborhood is safe and nice and easily accessible from downtown. If you do not travel with a car and prefer to go local in terms of public transit, Bus 18, just a block north on Enfield, will take you to the University of Texas within minutes. I would certainly stay at this place again next time I go to Austin.
