This is a great, basic room in Austin, with a very soft bed. It's in a residential area, but there are many small businesses within a 5 minute drive, and nowhere that we wanted to go (Zilker Park, downtown, etc) seemed to be more than 15 minutes away by car.

Even though he was out of town, Sid was extremely helpful in making our stay pleasant, to the point of having the house's dog put in a kennel, as, for personal reasons, we are very unhappy with dogs. Likewise, the other tenants of the house, Harsh and Anna, were extremely accommodating, even offering their food and drink (which I took them up on when I woke up starving at 3 am). Harsh and Anna are successful young people, and they have the energy that goes with that. If we weren't so tired, we would have stayed up and partied with them.
We would recommend this place to anybody looking to stay with friendly, young locals!
