Garret's awesome (if you need any recc's, he has a lot of great ones). His place is awesome. His place itself is in good shape and was very clean. It's just south of Oltorf in SoCo, and is really conveniantly located for getting to a lot of great things. Pretty much the entire area and into downtown is bikable from his place (he has 2 bikes that he lent us, even!). Walking should be doable too, but might be a bit of a trek to get to downtown.

There are just a few of things to be aware of, but nothing major (we felt) - especially at the awesome rate we had:
- As another reviewer mentioned: if the weather is cold (and it was pretty nasty when we were there), there's no built-in heating. To overcome this, he has some space heaters and the bed has some nice heavy blankets. The space heaters take some time to heat (tip: keep the bedroom door closed), but once they do, we found them sufficient for keeping the bedroom reasonably warm.
- One of the walls that is shared with one of his neighbors is sorta thin, so you can hear a bit. It wasn't bad though, and everything was quiet once the evening hit (so we weren't kept up or anything).
