The room was as described and the rest of the house was comfortable. The neighborhood was quiet at night and convenient to downtown by bus. The buses don't run that frequently but you can text the stop number and you'll get a text back with the times of the next three buses which I found to be really helpful.
Luke was a good host - he helped me by phone because I stupidly put just the street into Google maps and while Google did take me to the street, it didn't connect through to the part where the house is (there's a big school in the middle, bisecting the street. He made me feel welcome and made me coffee one morning which helped me make it to my breakfast spot.
The only difficulty I encountered was the key was not in the box because the person before me hadn't put it back. I texted Luke and he called me back to make some suggestions. When he said the last guest hadn't put the key back I thought to look around the area to see if they left it somewhere else and Bingo! I was able to get in and put my stuff down. I don't hold this against the hosts though since it wasn't their fault.
As mentioned, they have two cats who I adored but obviously if you're allergic or not a cat person this would be a drawback.
I highly recommend this listing if you're staying in Austin!
