This turned out to be the perfect place to stay for SXSW.
The bus to downtown stops right next to the property so getting around is relatively easy even if you don't have a car. Metro station is a short walk away. There's plenty of cool bars and cafes nearby too.
The bus also has a lot of character and feels very cozy - this made the time I had to spend at the property much, much more enjoyable.
Thanks once again Benjamin!
