We were in town for SXSW. If you have traveled to Austin for SXSW, you will know how insane and overwhelming it can be. Michael's place in the Eastside is the perfect little oasis for some personal downtime and relaxation in between all the panels and sessions that we went to. It was so fun hanging out with them, too. Michael's place is so clean, and all the little things he did for us did not go unnoticed. It is amazing to be able to take it slow and easy and to enjoy a cup of joe or to grab a banana before heading out for 8 hours and more at the convention center. There is so many cute eateries and breweries near Michael's place too if you want to explore. La Barberque (around the corner from Michael's place) has seriously the best sausages and pork ribs I've ever had in my life. We chose to walk down to the lake one afternoon to take a nap under the trees. My husband is particularly impressed at the hospitality we have been shown. He didn't enjoy the wind chimes outside our bedroom and in the middle of the night asked Michael to take them down. They took them down very quickly to ensure my husband got a nice rest. All in all it was a great stay. Thank you Michael, Lee and to Sprinkles for making this trip so wonderful. I highly recommend this place to anyone who is visiting Austin.
