I enjoyed my stay at Jim's! I wound up needing a place for a month when my cross-country move was interrupted by covid. I had been renting a house, so I was looking for a place with no shared walls. The guest house is entirely separate, if quite close to the main house, but Jim set up a fence in the backyard for my dog so we had our own outdoor space. The neighborhood itself is great for dog walking, though it lacks sidewalks like most Austin neighborhoods. We had everything we needed for the month and no issues with street parking or communication. The only thing to note is the air conditioner is a wall unit above the bed, so if you're a light sleeper you may have to figure out a system to cope with the sound of it kicking on and off (mine was to use the timer setting). Overall, staying at Jim's was a respite during a stressful time!
