Fun place to stay in great neighborhood! The cool, diverse community of people staying at the house immediately made me feel very welcome and helped me get my bearings when I first arrived in Austin. The location is great, close to UT buses and city buses to take you downtown, and a short walk to a great cafe, bar, and some restaurants. This is more than a place to crash; community spaces and a big shared kitchen give you a chance to get to know everyone living here and join people for excursions downtown or to shows. Martin and others are always looking for ways to improve the facilities/amenities, and are quick to help if you need anything.
