My purpose in Austin was for business downtown. This area was within minutes of the downtown area which made ubering back and forth much more convenient and cost-effective than driving my rental and paying for outrageous parking fees. my Uber trips were roughly $8 each way. doordash deliveries took 30 minutes which was also very convenient for nights that I didn't want to get out. The general vibe of the area was residential / walkable eating district. the area did feel safe and I slept like a baby every night so night time noise was minimal. The decor was very contemporary and the place smelled amazing. The bed was very comfortable and the communication with the host was exceptional. Although this room was attached to the owner's house it was separated by a private hallway so I felt complete privacy the entire time. I had flight issues which caused me to miss my first day due to layovers and missed flights and Jennifer comped me a night without asking. This was very fair and gracious and appreciated although not expected :-) So overall this was a very very positive experience and I would stay here again
