I've booked through Airbnb a number of times now, and not to dis on any of the other great hosts I've had but Troy takes the cake by far. Beautiful house. Beautiful neighborhood. QUIET neighborhood. And one of the friendliest guys you could hope to meet. Troy really helped make my stay in Austin feel friendly, safe, and an all-around pleasure.

I was in town for the Austin Film Festival, so know that if you stay at Troy's and don't have wheels, it means taking the bus downtown - about six miles. And buses in Austin don't run with the frequency they do in other major cities (about every half hour). It's not a long ride, but you're certainly not close to the center of the action. This fact was more than made up for by all the things I've mentioned above. Also, it's about a 15 minute walk from Troy's house to the nearest bus stop.

All around a wonderful experience in Austin, and one that I would highly recommend to anyone that is willing to stay just a little outside downtown.
