We had an awesome time in Austin and all of the suggestions given to us by Cynthia and Jim allowed us to spend more time eating and listening to music and less time doing research. Their family is welcoming and it felt more like staying with friends than strangers.
The airbnb is located within walking distance of a great restaurant (El Alma) and reasonable walking distance to both the South Congress area and 6th Street.
The room was warm, well decorated and came equipped with a fridge full of drinks (water was a welcome addition since we were in town for New Years).
After miles of walking and biking each day, I enjoyed using the massage chair to relieve the tension in my feet and legs. It was an awesome perk!
