I'm actually from Austin but I needed a place to crash before and after running the Austin half marathon, and Joe's place was perfect. It's SO quiet and comfortable. Check in was easy and Joe is very responsive if you need help with anything. There were some prior reviews about the water heater - it's no longer an issue. I was the first to test out the new water heater they installed, which lasts a lot longer and works much better than the previous water heater. The wifi is great and there is AC and space heaters. The area is pretty walkable - you're close to South Congress and Barton Springs, and a very short uber from Downtown. I'd recommend the place for solo travelers or a couple who want to work remote from Austin for a week!
