Varun was a great host and it was a nice touch for our group to arrive to a stocked fridge of water, snacks and beer / wine. His place is in a handy location for events like sxsw, 10-15mins walking distance to most locations or a 5min lyft / uber. However, Varun's dog lives at the house and whilst it wasn't there during our stay, there was a lot of dog hair in the living area and bedrooms, which a few our party were allergic to. Just something to be aware of, but if you don't mind that, then the house was convenient for sxsw and Varun is a generous and trustworthy host.
