Helen and her husband are perfect hosts. They live in a simply wonderful neighborhood that embodies the word, "charming!"
I spent a month in the apartment over the garage. It was clean, well illustrated in the photos, and exceedingly quiet. It was well over 100 degrees for almost every day, and the air conditioning worked perfectly. I asked for a toaster, was prepared to pay, but couple days later found it delivered, gratis, by Helen's young son.
The apartment worked perfectly for my needs, and I am grateful. While I don't necessarily recommend Austin in August in the time of Covid, this was a fine place to stay and these were model hosts.
