So glad I decided to stay here for my month in Austin! Mark and Sam are welcoming, helpful and generous hosts. I really enjoyed the lively, thought-provoking conversations (over delicious locally sourced meals to boot!) I also was able to enjoy lots of relaxing time to myself in the room, which (between the huge bathroom, mini-fridge, and lots of extra closet space) felt almost like a studio apartment. The location is great - the neighborhood is quiet and private, but it's super close to all kinds of South Austin fun and though I had a car, you'd be fine getting around from here without one. Jack the dog is adorable and sweet. Really can't recommend this place enough for your stay in Austin!
