Alice's place is cozy, clean, in a beautiful back yard with a lovely porch. It is in a quiet neighborhood outside the center, but only 10 minutes away by car. We reccomend you rent a car to get around easier. If you are visiting for SXSW you will find Alice's place a more cost effective solution but only if you do not need to come back to the house during tbe day then I definitelly recommend this place. Also Alice is a very nice and helpful host. She even offered to drive us when we could not find a driver to take us downtown. If I come back to austin I will stay with Alice again.
