Vania is one of the friendliest and thoughtful Airbnb hosts that I’ve had. I highly recommend staying at her place, whether coming in for SXSW as I did or just to explore the Austin area.
It was only a 20 min drive to attend most SXSW events, and a fraction of the price of staying in downtown Austin. During the day we would leave my friend’s car at an all-day garage right by the Convention Center, and we could put the extra money towards exploring the various festival venues.
