Justin's apartment is beautifully appointed with great decor and a super comfy bed. Also very clean! One important note for sleeping: although there are blackout shades on the window, the full glass door is not covered. So if you want to sleep you'll definitely need sleeping masks as its sunny during the day and lights from cars/buildings come in at night. We were not familiar with East Austin but it was super easy to park our rental out front on the street and it was reasonably distance to key spots by car (5 minutes to downtown, 10-15 to S. Congress). Also 10-15 min to/from airprt by car. We appreciated the quiet location (compared to staying, say downtown) and it was close to some cool restaurants for breakfast and dinner. We walked downtown the first night but it was a half hour walk on a busy Cesar Chavez and crossing the 1-35 frontage road so we opted to drive after that. Not sure about public transport or scooters/bikes as we did not use. The shower/bathroom sink seem to be low flow, but usable.
