It's a shared space besides the room which was small but clean and cozy and when I was there the roommates pretty much kept to themselves. One of the roommates had a dog that stayed in the dining room a lot of the time. I'm not sure if she is a permanent fixture or just came with a temporary stayer. She is very friendly but would howl and bark at times.
Lucy just put a brand new bed in the room I stayed in which was very comfortable. The shower is huge and awesome but not as clean as I would have liked. We did not check out or see a pool while I was there as the weather was not warm everyday in November with an arctic blast coming up at that time, so I didn't seek it out. Another added bonus for extended stays: the washer and dryer are a lifesaver!
If you are coming from out of town to experience Austin I would suggest renting a car especially if you are staying at Lucy's Air B&B. A Lyft or an Uber will cost you about $20 each way from the condo to downtown or other places not to mention rides in between.
The neighborhood itself is good but as soon as you get out of the condominium park, if you're on foot, it is a little sketchy.
Overall a comfy stay, and Lucy is very accommodating and quick to give tips for places to check out.
