John's home is spacious and comfortable. I stayed in one of the extra bedrooms during SxSW and it was great.

John was a fantastic host as well, providing breakfast and coffee every day and giving me a ride when it was convenient.

The house is just a few blocks from the light rail and a bus stop, but Public transport in Austin is not like most major cities. If you have a car or bike, you're fine. It's about a 45 min walk to get downtown.
