This is a no frills space that may meet some visitors’ needs. However, we experienced low water pressure that did not allow for a shower for both of us in the same morning, and an old gas room heater that did not seem to be well maintained. The room was cold at night when we stayed there in February, even with the heater in all night, due to poor insulation and drafty windows. The mattress was uncomfortable. On the other hand, the host was communicative and friendly and caring in our electronic communications, and offered good recommendations on things to do in Austin.
