Erik's loft is sweeping, modern, and comfortable. The photographs on the site are great, but they don't do the place justice: its sweeping details, granite countertops, and colorful accents are truly extraordinary. Five people can stay here comfortably.

Not only is the space fantastic, but the location can't be beat. Two of my favorite culinary discoveries of Austin - Taco Shack and Max's Wine Dive - are literally across the street from the apartment.

Erik is also a fantastic host. He provided us with a list of all of his favorite downtown haunts, and he was very accommodating when our flights were delayed and we had to adjust our check-in times.

I would definitely stay in this loft again!
