Todd and Amy's place is really fantastic - totally up-to-date, beautifully furnished, very clean-- and you even have your own private patio! It felt absolutely comfortable, and - dare I say? - luxurious. The studio is perfectly located between downtown Austin and Austin's fun and hip Soco neighborhood. If you're coming to Austin for SXSW, you'll be perfectly located (an easy 15 minute walk to the Convention Center) and you'll find that this place offers a lovely, peaceful respite from the fast-paced and frenzied SXSW environment. Todd and Amy were very gracious hosts, helping me get settled in and answering all my "Austin newbie" queries. They even set me up with some coffee beans and tea upon my arrival...it's the little things! They're glad to share their awesome city with others, and you'll be happy to have them as a resource during your stay.
