I was in Austin for 8 weeks on a clinical internship, and I couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. Alice is a wonderful person and respectful roommate, and her house is adorable! The house is located in a quiet neighborhood a few miles north of the city, but it was an easy commute downtown and to where I was working north of the city. I felt safe, and the neighborhood and surrounding areas are great for running/exploring. She was very good at communicating early on and making sure that I felt safe and welcomed. I would definitely recommend staying with Alice, and I hope to be back in Austin to visit her sometime in the future !
