I met Brad and his lady briefly. They were very kind hosts and suggested I grab dinner at Buffalina, a nice pizza place with great wine about a 20 minute walk through gorgeous east Austin. The neighborhood he lives in is quiet and full of lovely homes, but an easy walk to East Ceasar Chavez St., where all the restaurants and bars are. In the opposite direction is the water, with easy access to the riverwalk and several parks.
The room was very comfortable and private. You have the upstairs to yourself, and I felt like I had the downstairs to myself, as I didn't see Brad much. He graciously offers his guests the Keurig and K-cups, as well as a plentiful supply of craft beer in his fridge. At my request, Brad even mailed out a postcard for me since I didn't have any time to run by a post office.
I'd absolutely stay here again!
