Brian's place does resemble the photos and is located in a REALLY cute, well taken care of neighborhood and is right off of the highway, which was very convenient for me. If you're the type of person that likes to have a high-velocity fan for noise or anything, bring one with you because it is QUIET at night with the exception of the neighbors dog barking..
I'm not one who travels often, but would've loved a small book with local/direct neighborhood suggestions for shopping, eating, coffee shops, etc. since I had never been to Austin before and didn't want to get lost honestly lol tried googling it but Austin has way too many places to go and shop so I never did go anywhere during my stay until I checked out the next morning to leave for a job interview.
FYI: for people that drive larger vehicles (trucks or super wide cars), the parking space that is reserved for the guests behind the house next to the garage is a little small. I drive a 1500 Chevy Silverado and had a rough time parking to where I didn't hit their fence in the front or their garage/my truck door on the left side, or the trash cans on the right and had to re-adjust the way I was parked like 5-6 times LOL so I would recommend parking in one of the empty spaces near the home throughout the neighborhood :)
Really cute little studio though! The design and layout of it was nice and there's plenty of natural lighting.
