I stayed at Gina's empty best with my boyfriend and two friends for SXSW and had a great time. Both Gina and her husband Ken were really accommodating and quick to respond if we ever needed them for anything. They had lots of great suggestions for places to go in the area and made us feel at home straight away. The empty nest itself is a great place and looks exactly as it does in the photos, there's lots of space and a lovely veranda at the front which is great to sit out in the evenings and take in your surroundings. It's within walking distance to Wholefoods and downtown as well as some great restaurants in the opposite direction too. I'd recommend the empty nest to anyone looking to stay in Austin.
