I stayed at Katie's for part of SXSW. It was a great experience: Katie provided clear instructions on how to get to the house etc and was quick to respond to any inquiries. The house is located in a quiet, residential neighbourhood north of campus, but is very close to public transit. Late at night, I would take cabs or Uber home; cost approximately $10-12. The room was nice and spacious, and the bed very comfortable. Overall, a great experience!
