I have to say, John's place is one of my favorite Air B&B experiences, and I've had a lot of great ones. Yes, there are chickens outside. No, you can't hear or smell them. Yes, it's amazing. No, I didn't take one home, although I wanted to.

The bungalow is exactly as described: clean, cozy, with everything you need. My partner, who lives in Austin, came over on the first night and ended up staying with me the whole time. From the private driveway to the handwritten note with the fresh towels waiting outside, the peaceful sleep and yes--those gorgeous chickens (maybe a rooster too?).

I hate to say this because now there will be less availability for us....but it's truly the perfect getaway right next to all the action in one of the best areas of Austin. Thanks, John! Save us a spot;)
