Melissa is an excellent host. She was very friendly, communicative and helpful. She created an awesome binder full of great information about Austin, things to do, places to see. We tried some of her recommendations, and they were all great.

The place is smaller than I imagined based on the photos, but it was fine for our needs. The wifi was spotty at times, but I didn't go on vacation to work anyway :)

I really loved the neighborhood. Easy walking distance to shops and restaurants on 6th, 7th, and 12th streets. Not too far from Downtown, and super easy to navigate to/from SXSW, whether on foot or by car.

Extra points for being so accommodating of our small dog.
