I had a perfect stay at the garage apartment. It was cozy, and somehow felt tucked away despite being on the corner of a busy street - the entrance makes you feel like you're staying somewhere tropical, despite being in central Texas!
The apartment was very clean, stocked with coffee, paper supplies, and extra linens/towels, and the bed was super comfy. It also was walking distance to a number of food trucks, a great market/liquor store, and some Austin staples like Pinthouse Pizza, Tacodeli, The Flying Saucer, and other restaurants and bars.
Check in/out was a breeze, and in fact the host was super responsive and accommodating when I needed to stay a few extra days at the last minute. Staying here was a great introduction to Austin, and I would 100% recommend it!!
