Mary was a great host. Incredibly hospitable and helpful overall. Her place was in impeccable condition like the photos show and we stayed there extremely comfortably with five people (4 on beds and 1 on pull out couch). It's primarily a residential neighborhood but there's an awesome wine bar/coffee shop around the corner. Taxi downtown takes up about 5 minutes tops and there's also a bus that is a block from her pad. We stayed there for SXSW and it was an overall great experience. Sweet rooftop view of downtown to boot!
