This is exactly what I wanted out of my Austin experience. I knew I didn't want to be tucked away in the tourist part of town and I wanted to have access to most of the city with my bike and Leslie's place was both of those things. The neighborhood is quickly becoming pretty mainstream but still has that authentic Austin feel to it. Leslie is so laid back and I immediately felt comfortable. Had a great stay. I now know why so many people visit Austin and never leave.
