My husband and I came to Austin for a 4 day weekend and we had a great time staying at Kristen's place! She left some papers with suggestions on what to do that we found very helpful. We rented a car (as Kristen had mentioned Austin is pretty spread out) and we used it during the day to get to some different sites around town, but parked it in the spot for the evenings and were able to either walk or take a
$5-10 uber ride to wherever we needed to go. The check in/check out process was very easy!
