Its a rare occurrence, but I must have just gotten lucky to find and secure Erik & Crystal's place. In the heart of downtown, in the middle of a busy time in the city(multiple conferences, ACL, who-knows-what-else...), I was able to to walk/take public transport to every destination. First time I've used Airbnb for biz travel too -- I usually let my better half with her curiosity and patience go through all the options that exist for travel stays these days. I came and performed a narrow search for what I wanted -- found this diamond -- and didn't think about it again until I was nearly on the plane and on my way. Erik and Crystal sent a kind welcome mail that contained all the info I needed to find the place and gain entry. It was succinct and easy to read -- they're professionals. Upon entry the place was strikingly clean(there were some old(?) comments to the contrary and the place was every bit as spacious and appointed as the ad claims. It was a fantastic stay and I now have a favorite place to look for upon return trips to Austin.
