We stayed for the duration of SXSW, and it was really lovely to have such a peaceful retreat to return home to each night. We used ride sharing apps Fasten and Ride Austin to get around, and it usually cost us $8-10 to get downtown.
Gail and Bill's home is lovely - so many nooks and cranny's to hang out and relax. We loved the undercover patio, and the view into the green belt.
Great internet and ducted A/C and heating was a bonus.
Highly recommended for a SXSW stay - close enough to the action but oh so quiet! We hope to return one day!
