This was my first time in Austin and I'm very happy with my choice to stay at Chet's place. If you don't mind walking a bit it's very easy to get downtown, otherwise you can take a scooter or ride share. I had a rental car and was a bit worried about the parking situation but there was always plenty of space on the street. The place itself was very clean, quiet, easy to get into, and had everything I needed. I appreciated the snacks and fridge stocked with soda and water.
