I highly recommend Kim and her lovely, welcoming home. I loved my week with her and my AirBnB buddies. Embrace being in a home and with a host that is the spirit of South Austin. As a frequent business traveller, the conventional wisdom is to stay in a hotel, but take the opportunity to do something different. I was there for SXSW and has sessions and meetings all day, and the ability to escape back to Kim's was a blessed relief.
