My colleague and I stayed at Nick's house two years ago for SXSWi, and we were so delighted to see that it was available again this year for our trip! We booked it immediately and had just as wonderful of an experience as the first time. The home is comfortable and well-appointed, and Nick is a fantastic host. He's very communicative and accommodating and anticipates guests' needs far in advance. Getting downtown is easy via Lyft, but there are great places to eat, shop and grab a coffee in the South Austin neighborhood, as well. I'll always look to stay here when we're in Austin!
