This is a beautiful studio that's very comfortable. Todd was a thoughtful host but not invasive. The studio isn't immediately adjacent to stores and restaurants, and it's by a major highway (bring earplugs if you're a light sleeper). That said, it's within a one mile walk or $4-6 Lyft/Uber ride to Rainey Street, downtown, great restaurants (e.g. Taco Joint!!), and bats, and is just a couple blocks from an entrance to the Austin boardwalk on the river (great for scenic runs or walking downtown!). We really enjoyed our stay.
