I rented the new garage apartment in Zilker for a friend who was visiting from out of town since my 1 bedroom Austin apartment was too small to accommodate him. John was wonderful and incredibly communicative/responsive. Plus, he gave me a tour of and instructions prior to my friend's arrival. The apartment is airy, modern, spacious and proved to be the perfect loft, retreat-like accommodations in the heat of the Austin summer. The hosts have thought of every small detail that are missing in most rentals that made my friend's stay incredibly comfortable- plenty of extra towels, lots of hangers in the closet, ironing board, organic toiletries in the bathroom, water and beer in the fridge, wine glasses, corkscrew, local reading material on the coffee table. Would highly recommend this apartment close to downtown and walking distance to the burgeoning eateries, restaurants and boutiques along Lamar Blvd. If I have any future guests coming to town, I'm definitely keeping this place in mind.
