For us Elana's place was a near-perfect home base for our SXSW experience. So cute, with everything you could need. We totally fell for her neighborhood too. Quiet, friendly, green... Was a pleasure to spend time there. We rented bikes, so it was a 20-30 min ride downtown through the neighborhood streets and UT, which went some small way to keeping our fitness levels up in an otherwise unhealthy week! As a result, we're not sure what the public transport set-up is like in Austin, but there seemed to be a bunch of buses around, so I'm sure it'd be a breeze if you weren't riding or driving.

Elana was totally responsive to any questions we had, was friendly, helpful and generous. We genuinely had a blast in Austin. Thanks so much Elana!
