Chris and Joyce are great hosts, and the apartment is simply perfect, down to the last detail. Seems newly renovated, and they clearly take great care of the place. It's clean and well stocked, and everything works like new. The kitchen has everything you need for some basic cooking, not to mention the laundry machines and dishwasher, and the central AC is fully functional (key for a yankee visiting Texas). The bed is super comfy, and the bathroom impressively clean. Even the water pressure in the shower was perfect, and this is something I'm kind of obsessive about. More than enough amenities for my 3 week stay: plenty of soap, paper products, laundry/dishwasher detergent, and even coffee, tea, beer, wine and chocolate! I was visiting UT Austin, and the apartment is an easy 20-min walk to campus.

Chris and Joyce were thoughtful hosts from before I even arrived, sending me detailed late-check-in instructions and a list of good food in the neighborhood. They even let me use their bike (and lock and helmet) for my whole 3-week stay. Once they knew I'm a fellow rock climber, they gave me a run down of local climbing spots.

I really can't recommend this place highly enough. Well priced, well cared for, conveniently located, and probably nicer than most hotels in town.
