I really enjoyed my stay here. Sylvia was very accommodating and communicative. It's a kitschy space and had everything I needed for my SXSW stay. Most of my colleagues were at the JW Marriott and it was less than a 10 minute walk to that hotel and even less to the convention center and Rainey street.

While I didn't spend much time in the apartment, the access to Netflix and HBO GO, through Roku, was a welcome amenity, as was the coffee. It's also a block away from a spot that sells vegan rueben's! If you're into that sort of thing, which I am.

Sylvia's place is great for 1-2 people who need a place to hang their hat while they enjoy the spoils of Austin.

My only caveat is that if you're tall (I'm 6'1) the bed and shower will be a little tight for you. That said, that small potatoes in the grand scheme of things and wouldn't impact my decision to stay with Sylvia again.
