Even though our stay in John's South Congress Studio Apartment was very brief, we felt comfortable and safe while there. It was an excellent location that is close to the quirky, trendy South Congress Avenue. It is easily walkable to great shops and restaurants. In fact, if the weather is agreeable, it would be easier to leave your car at home, as parking on the main drag is tricky. There were a nice assortment of visitor books/guides waiting for us to learn more about Austin. John was easily accessible by phone when we got a little lost upon arrival, and we were glad that we had a chance to meet when we got there. We only got a little taste of all that Austin has to offer, but we would definitely come back to this cute apartment again!
