Location, Location, Location! I stayed at Tracy's place during SXSWi with colleagues, and it could not have been in a better spot. Steps away from the best SOCO joints, and a short walk to the new stuff in SOFI. Try La Barbecue on south first before making the trek to Salt Lick, I think it is much better. Easy transportation to and from Downtown, and being next door to one of the most popular all night food joints in town is not too shabby. The place is just like it is in the photo's, except for the amazing backyard. The photos do not do it justice! So relaxing and laid back, it was the perfect place to stay while we were in Austin.
Tracy was amazingly helpful and accommodating, we had everything we could need. There is a connivence store within walking distance with great beer and service. If you are coming in from out of town, I would give this place my highest recommendation. Except for SXSWi, I call first dibs!
