We had a great stay in Austin at Amy's studio. We stayed for 4 nights and got to see a lot of Austin. The studio was very clean, comfortable, and nicely arranged. It's in a pretty residential neighborhood near Zilker Park and Barton Springs restaurants. Amy provided us with some tips on what to do in Austin and where to eat in the neighborhood. We originally didn't rent a car, but realized it would be necessary if we wanted to easily see other parts of Austin (and didn't want to take a lot of cabs!)
