With this being our first time in Austin, my girlfriend and I wanted to stay in an area that was near the 'hotspots', while still feeling at home; Ben's place was all of that and more. Arriving and using the code for the door was perfect which helped circumvent any use of a key or the fear of losing it. The room was immaculate and just as pictured, the shower light was a perfect touch. Ben was incredibly gracious and welcoming, suggesting bars nearby, restaurants and what to do. The area that Ben's place is located in is close to several very cool bars, and a 10min Uber drive to downtown Austin, the capital, and many shopping areas, yet it is quiet and peaceful at night. Thank you so much for a wonderful first time experience in Austin, I would definitely stay here again!
