Doug and Savanna were awesome hosts - easy to communicate with and incredibly accommodating, totally above and beyond the normal AirBnB experience.

If you're a cyclist or Americana nerd, you will love their place. The decor is an amazing mix of Texan aesthetic and DIY bike culture. They also have an incredible record collection and great backyard.

If you're staying during the winter, remember to flip the heater on. It'll keep the place plenty warm. Doug warned us, and we woke up chilly on the nights we ignored him!

The location might be a little off the beaten path for people who like to stay downtown, but it was perfect for an accessible SXSW stay - especially on bikes. (Far, far better than most of the available hotels.) Quiet at night, but only a quick jaunt from downtown. If you're staying over the weekend, head to Frontier Bar to get a waffle burger.

This is definitely my new place to stay in Austin!
