This place is awesome. Literally minutes away from the MLK metro stop, but also really close to downtown if you choose to use RideAustin instead (with a group RideAustin will generally be cheaper than the Metro). The neighborhood is quiet with not much going on, but the neighbors we did meet were very friendly. The house itself is great for housing 8-9 people if they don't mind a comfortable couch or sleeping three on a really comfortable large bed. Very clean and organized. Overall, made for a great SXSW experience.
