I recently stayed at Erica's home for SXSW. It was perfect for easy access to all festival events, was walkable to many local Austin favorites, and was near more top-rated restaurants than I had time to attend. Being on the East side of the building allowed me to enjoy all of the nightlife that Rainey Street has to offer, while keeping the noise level low for a relaxing night sleep. I would certainly stay here again on a future visit.
