I did my research on austin and found a few places that were interesting to stay at but honestly, this is probably your best option. We had a few friends that stayed at the Von Zandt which is across the street. They loved our Airbnb better than where they stayed at and the hotel was a bit more expensive. The amenities were amazing, everyone was very friendly and helpful. The location again was awesome because there is a row of houses that have been converted to bars!! I live in socal and we have a few bar hopping spots but this was way better and cheaper! Just my opinion but the best tacos in town are down the street. It's called Veracruz All Natural, you're welcome!! Trina was an awesome host and very quick to reply. Expect to have an awesome time if you choose to come here.
