This place was absolutely perfect for my first trip to Austin! I was meeting my best friend from back home and John's place was spectacular. It was super comfortable (the beds and pillows were great!), had all the amenities, was safe, and is in in walking distance from Starbucks as well as numerous other quick food options (although the food in this city is so amazing we focused on the local fare).
It also is right along the beautiful river path and we were able to walk to so many of the places we went. Downtown is just a two mile walk and we did that a few times. While uber and lyft are not in the city John directed us to other options for the jaunts where did not walk.
Most importantly John was a fantastic host! He was so responsive and gave us such wonderful ideas and advice to navigate the city, music, spa treatments, and food! This place is totally where you want to be!
