A coworker and I stayed here for South By Southwest Interactive, and we loved our stay. The house is really cute and comfy, and we each had our own bedroom and shared the common areas (living room, kitchen, bathroom, utility room with washer and dryer). The location in South Austin is good -- near several great restaurants and just a few miles from downtown. There's a CVS next door that was really convenient for snacks and stuff we forgot. We had no issues with the train noise, and I'm a pretty light sleeper. If needed, though, Nick had left us earplugs!

I can't say enough nice things about Nick as a host. He was very helpful and communicative from the start, and included all kinds of great touches: a custom Google Map of the neighborhood with places we might like to eat, a bottle of wine, mini toiletries in the bathroom, even a coloring book on the table for doodling in. He has a wonderful home he's taken great care of, and transfers the same care to his guests.

You'll be glad you stayed here!
