John's studio apartment was wonderful. the place is in a great neighborhood and very close to all of the food / attractions that appealed to us. the space itself was nice and cozy. plenty of comfortable places to sit, and i love all the table lamps everywhere instead of harsh overhead lighting. i also really enjoyed having enough tables / counters / surfaces around the studio for all our stuff. both the A/C and the heater (we had to use both during our stay. thanks austin weather :) ) worked great and cooled / heated the space fairly quickly. the place was clean and the bed was very comfortable. backing out of the driveway took some getting used to, but it was really wonderful having off-street parking for our car. and an added bonus during our trip was being greeted by a super friendly cat (it had a collar, so i'm assuming it had a home somewhere nearby), just outside our door every morning. it's almost as if the cat knew i was missing my own cat back home and she came to purr by my feet :)

we thoroughly enjoyed our stay here, and would absolutely come back!
