David's accommodations were fantastic. The interior was very well decorated/designed and was free of any personal items. We felt like we were staying in a very comfortable hotel instead of someone else's home. Bus was only a 5 minute walk away and took us all the way downtown with no transfers. As a host, David was kind and considerate of our privacy, but always lent himself to us if need be. I would recommend to anyone staying in Austin.

Bus was $2 for a day pass
Cab was $10 to the heart of downtown

Only walkable stores were two 'stop and shops' right by the bus stop (5 minutes away), but carry a good selection of things to stock the fridge with.
