It's a quiet, very comfortable room (the ceiling fan was a real plus in Austin's humidity), with the bathroom right across the hall. Carlos was out of town the weekend I stayed but was easy to reach the whole time. The immediate neighborhood is great--Paperboy and Juana Taco are excellent breakfast food-truck options four or so blocks away--and the convention center is about a mile away.
That mile was not a bad walk overall except for when you have to cross 7th Street and I-35's frontage road, both of which don't have enough crosswalks. That's not a knock against this house but against Austin's government; please make the east side more welcoming to pedestrians!
