This was a perfect cost effective venue for my one week stay in Austin. It feels like a micro apartment in a quiet residential neighborhood. John is a super-host who knows how to make the most of your stay. Pro: the location is a safe area. I biked about 3 miles to get downtown by going through a park and then along the lake to the Convention center ... without crossing any major intersections! (there is a path that winds under bridges) When I didn't bike, a ride share was about $25, or a 5 min walk to a main road plus $10 ride share. Cons: it is still an RV. So you should know what you are getting into in terms of the bathroom / shower. everything works fine, but there is a bit of a process turning on and off subsystems like water pumps and hot water heaters. my favorite feeling: the minimalist low clutter feel when all drawers were shut, but when I open up a cabinet in the kitchen, it's fully stocked with the reasonable things I might want, from coffee and sugar to pots and pans.
