We (a colleague of mine and I) stayed at Patrick's cozy appartment for a week during SXSW Interactive, and were happy with our choice.

The appartment is great for 2 people travelling, because the living room has a uber-spacious couch to sleep on and a little balcony facing the green, and the bedroom has a big, nice bed and is equally quiet. The central and calm location (5-10 min walk to downtown and all the conference stuff) in the back of a residential complex make it a great retreat for festival/conference-goers. The whole place feels clean and modern, with a dash of color from all the cool photographs hanging on the walls.

Of course, the great Wi-Fi and smooth communication with Patrick helped as well! We can definitely recommend this place for 2-3 people who know each other and need a cozy place to explore Austin!
