Had a lovely 4 night stay at Jo and Taylor's with my pup. It was an ideal environment to enjoy a change of scenery, work remotely, and see Austin friends. The space is quiet and minimal with great amenities for a short or longer term stay.
I walked the dog to the highly recommended Zed's as well as Cork & Screw at Camp East and Nixta Taqueria (both a little further on 12th) plus checked out Birdie's (sans dog) less than 3 blocks away for a nice, quiet dinner.
If you're looking to enjoy the quieter East side of Austin but stay close to everything the city has to offer this is the perfect spot!
