I was there for a few days house-hunting. I was initially staying at a long-term hotel that my wife set up, but it was pretty awful (bad location, noisy, stinky) so I cut that short and found this apartment on airbnb instead. That was a great decision. I'm not kidding... the clouds opened up and there was choir music as it went from 40s and drizzly to sunny and 70s. So apparently this apartment also makes good weather happen.

The place itself was excellent (clean and great location) and Lupe was great to work with. It's just off campus, with several really good restaurants, coffeeshops, and bars within easy walking distance. I recommend foodheads, salvation pizza, and the japanese street food truck "love balls" inside Spider House (a very cool bar). I was using car2go while I was there (which I recommend, but you need to set up ahead of time), and there were always cars available within a couple blocks.

I was working remotely from the apartment whenever I wasn't checking out houses, and I'm happy to report that the wifi was rock-solid. I've stayed at a few airbnbs in Austin over the years, and I think this was my best experience. Excellent deal, I would definitely use again. But hopefully I'll have my own house shortly anyway. :-)
