Absolutely loved staying in this sweet little studio! So comfortable and quiet. Perfect for a single or couple. Loved all the small touches, the fan, local Austin decor, coffee and little chocolates and super comfortable bed. John is a fantastic host, very easy to communicate with and even put out extra towels for me when he learned I was going to Barton Springs! Very accommodating with me and all the guests I had coming and going while staying with them. I felt like I was staying at a friends house, honestly. Great neighborhood, I had many very friendly encounters with the locals. Lots of places within walking distance, even in the Texas summer, to eat and drink and even shop. Close to Zilker Park, Barton Springs and downtown. I would absolutely recommend John's Private Zilker Retreat and I will hopefully be able to book this property on my next trip back home.
