I had a great stay at Robbie's place (thanks to Tanya too). It is out in East Austin, so a bit further out from the downtown area, but that's just where I wanted to be for a few days. I had already staying close to downtown before. There were a number of places to go out to eat a night and for a drink at night within 10 minutes. A great coffeeshop was about 20 minutes away to the south. I also used scooters when I needed to go further and explore Austin's neighborhoods. There are two fun puppies I got to pet and say hello to upon coming back to her place. Robbie was easy to communicate with and we chatted a bit about salsa dancing. Thanks!
