I unexpectedly found myself needing to spend the night in Austin. Rather than inconvenience friends, I had the choice between a hotel room, or something possibly on AirBnB. The selection was pared down quickly based on a same day reservation. Joel was extremely accommodating, and couldn't have made the process any easier. His responses were practically inhuman they were so fast - which was helpful since I was in the process of driving in. The place itself felt iconic, based on the extensive media coverage of his project. It was immaculate, cozy, and felt like home way more than any antiseptic hotel room could. I found the boat/rv toilet mildly discomfiting, but that's my issue, and had nothing to do with Joel or the place itself. Also, the stairway to the bedroom doubling as a book case, is not what I'm accustomed to. Not a negative. Just something I had to adjust to.
I couldn't recommend Joel's Tiny House any higher. An incredible overnight stay that turned something which could have been humdrum into something magical. If you get a chance, you should definitely check it out.
