Ben was very welcoming and we felt at home there during our stay. His home is very clean and the guest room has everything needed, although there are no tvs, microwave, toaster or toaster oven...but there is so much to do, see and eat in Austin that it wasn't a problem. The location was great, close to the busses and just a short walk to all that South Congress has to offer. For the price, it can't be beat!
