Amanda's apt was perfect for the Austin girls' weekend my two friends & I put together! The apt was big & had everything in it that we needed, plus was in a greeeeat location (so close to the river, near fun shopping, near good restaurants, even walkable from downtown one night when we couldn't find a cab). Especially if you've done the downtown/SXSW thing before and want to check out other cool Austin spots. (NYC-ers or those familiar, I feel like this would be the equivalent of staying in a cool Brooklyn neighborhood as opposed to Manhattan?)

It was my first Airbnb experience, but I can't imagine anyone being a better host than Amanda - apt was clean, stocked with toiletries and treats and she even mailed me two necklaces I had left there. Totally unnecessary, but very appreciated. Highly recommend Amanda & the apt!!
