Tanya and Robbie live in a quiet residential part of East Austin only a stone's throw from really cool restaurants and bars and everything you might need out of downtown. I stayed with them while in town for a conference and appreciated that their home provided a little bit of a mental break from all things "city." Both Tanya and Robbie were welcoming hosts and extremely responsive/attentive -- would highly recommend their place if you're in town for a few days!
