I stayed at Karen's garage apartment for 2 months as a travel nurse and wished I could have extended my contract because it was aamzing!
The location is situated in a wealthy, beautiful neighborhood in West Austin. So at first I was quite shock and the affordability of the place. Most places in Austin is around $2000 a month. The neighborhood is very quiet which is good if you are a light sleeper!
The apartment itself was nice and cozy! It has all the eseentials you need for a long stay. There is no T.V in the room so I would recommend to bring your own TV or your laptop for entertainment purposes.
I actually got hit by a pretty bad winter storm for Texas standards but the insulation and heater worked perfectly!
The host, Karen, was very caring! She always checked up on me if I needed and help, housekeeping cleaning, answer any questions. She made sure I was okay during the winter storm!
I will miss my time in Austin--for sure if I ever visit I would love to book another stay at Karen's! 😀
If you need a long term place to stay in Austin, I would 100x recommend Karen's!
