Troy's place just north of downtown was a convenient and cozy spot, perfect for my stay in Austin for a three-day music festival. He thoughtfully left for us a welcome package that included water, mints, toiletries, and even ear-plugs! Nailed it.

The neighborhood was quiet and the house very elegant and welcoming with tons of National Geographic magazines around the house to read. Troy and I even had a shared interest in photography and videography and talked shop on our camera gear -- very cool and down to earth dude.

I'd highly recommend staying at his place anytime you're visiting Austin.
