John & Melissa's apartment is lovely, peaceful and clean. I was in town for the Austin Record Convention, it was my first trip to Austin, and John went out of his way to recommend great places to eat, shop and things to do. It was nice not having a tv for a few days and I really was able to unplug, relax and enjoy. The apartment is bigger than in the photos. It's in a quiet, pretty, green neighborhood. As a solo female traveller, I felt very safe there. I made a quick stop to the Whole Foods flagship store, minutes from the apartment, and was able to pick up all the grocery essentials I needed. As a tall person, the apartment was perfect - tall ceilings, tall shower head, comfy bed. I rented a car and was able to get to all the places I wanted within minutes, my furthest trip was a 15 minute drive. The apartment is in the heart of Downtown Austin/South Austin, and accessible to everything. The airport is a quick 15-20 minute drive. I have already recommended the apartment to friends and would definitely stay there again. Can't say enough great things about it!
