Shawn was a very welcoming and nice host. Checking in was very easy. The room was large and comfortable as depicted in the photo. I had plenty of closet and drawer space. My room, the kitchen, the bathroom, and other shared spaces were very clean. I stayed for a month and he would always offer tomato soup when he made some. The location was optimal for me because sometimes I prefer to walk, and there are many locations that were 10-15 minute walk away including food trucks, restaurants, and bars. However, if you drove or ubered, downtown was only 5-10 minute drive away and super accessible. All in all, I had a great experience and would reccommend it to anyone looking for an awesome place to stay while in Austin!
