Can't say enough good things about Jon. This was my first time with Airbnb and I made a couple rookie mistakes along the way. Jon was very patient and helpful. He's also longtime Austinite, a great source of local info. He texted me a couple times to make sure I was settled in ok, or if I needed anything. Responded quickly when I did have a question.
The cottage itself is great, 9ft ceilings, tall windows, open floorplan makes place feel bigger than it is. Plenty of room for one or two people. It's decorated with plants, pictures, lots of musical stuff. Really is like staying in a friend's house while he's away.
Cottage has off street parking in quiet residential neighborhood, yet only a couple blocks to SoCo food and drink. HEB and bus route around the corner.
All in all a great experience. When I return to Austin I hope this place is available. Thanks Jon!
