This is definitely worth trying if you are looking to break out of your shell a bit and if you are working with a budget. I moved to Austin to help a friend start a business, so I wanted something furnished, low priced, and something I didn’t have to commit to (like signing a lease). Also I knew I didn’t wanna be lonely in this new city. Honestly if you can afford it I would try to go for a single or a double room if you can. I was in the bottom bunk in a room with two other guys.. But I met some really amazing people. It is the cheapest place I’ve ever lived in my life. And it was out of my comfort zone, which I appreciated, because it made me stronger. The hosts were great at communicating snd helping out whenever I needed. I will say that I really appreciated my roommate Luis and some of the housemates, like Patricia, Amanda and Sam. Such a valuable experience. And it is great to move to a new place and not be alone! It’s not the most glamorous neighborhood in Austin, but it’s super close to downtown which is convenient!
