This was my first Airbnb experience, needless to say, I hope they are all this pleasant. Mark was great host, available, yet not overbearing. The house was clean, but very much a guy's place(Do not expect frilly fabrics and floral patterns). Even so, it had a nice minimalist style, and the bed was very comfortable. Squish the cat was very friendly, as was Mark's roommate, Coulter. Both Mark and Coulter were both very informative about the area, and were just very accommodating hosts in general. The house is about a 20 minute walk from the convention center, a great base of operations if you are checking out SXSW.
