Daniel was the epitome of my idea of southern hospitality--a wonderful host.
His place is clean and ideal for a solo traveler (or couple). And, the deck and backyard was a huge plus, especially if you like a steam room and hot tub (as I do & took a daily steam during my stay).
As for the location, given Austin is so car-centric, if you're interested in the Barton Springs/Zilker Park and SoCo areas then this is a quick & easy drive away (via S. Lamar) with the plus of in staying in a quiet, family neighborhood. There are also many groceries and dining within a 5 minute drive.
I highly recommend Daniel's place.
