This was the perfect location for my son and I to stay at during SxSW. It's tucked away in a quiet neighborhood, but still within walking distance to downtown, congress, neighborhood restaurants and more. The host was fantastic and everything was clean and comfortable.

We had a wonderful stay at South River City. The accommodations were very clean and comfortable. The location was in a beautiful, quiet neighborhood and yet very convenient (walking distance) from shops and great places to dine. The host was friendly and helpful in making our stay a great experience.

Perfect location for sightseeing and walking around Austin. The room set up worked for us, all the essentials were available. Laundry was in the garage but readily accessible. Parking was on street but always available. Nice quiet neighborhood. Hosts were very responsive.
