I have stayed at a good number of places and I have to say that this was my favorite because of the quality of the space and the incredible host. I go to a significant number of conferences and it can be exhausting to have to "people" a lot without being able to recharge. Staying here gave me the quiet and comfort to be able to recharge, think, and work as I needed to. Joe's responsiveness and personal warmth made it feel almost like you are staying at a friend's place. Truly outstanding.
The location is so close to all the "stuff" you may want to do in Austin, from the convention center to Barton Springs, or the bats under the bridge and the music and food scenes. Joe and this space have made it to my favorites list and I am going to certainly return.
