The mid-1970s Airstream was a really wonderful place to stay, and Nathan and Paula were great hosts. As many have mentioned before, the air conditioning is efficient, and thankfully so with mid-August heat. I rented a bicycle at a weekly rate from Barton Springs Bikes Bike Rental and cycled each day to conduct research at the Harry Ransom Center from 9 am to 5 pm, and then cycled downtown (and elsewhere) for wonderful nightlife: great food, cinema, and music. Wifi and a really nice desk in the Airstream allowed me to work after-hours whenever I wished. Cycling around Austin was really a snap, though mid-day can be particularly hot so stay hydrated. Late-night cycling seems really safe and easy (I did a twenty-five minute ride to Austin Beer Garden Brewery (AGBG) to check out a great local band on a Saturday night and cycled back at 1:00 am without effort). Neighborhood venues are also recommended. My Sunday brunch at Hillside Farmacy remains especially memorable (15-minute walk). I hope to have a chance to stay in Nathan's Airstream again sometime soon.
