We had a 4 night weekend in Austin, staying at Cynthia & Jim's. It went very well. The room is exactly as pictured. It's separate from the house, sharing a common screened-in back porch. The bed is a queen futon, but quite comfortable. We awoke to the sound of morning doves - very nice.

Cynthia had nice little touches - beverages and snacks, fresh-baked blueberry bread, coffee ready to brew in the morning, etc. The room has it's own adjoining bathroom and kitchenette (sink, microwave, little fridge). Cynthia left detailed notes on places to eat. Wifi was great. We never used the TV but it's there too. Being dog folks we asked to meet the dogs and had a couple opportunities to pet them during our stay.

This was our first visit to Austin. We weren't sure about the location, being south of downtown. But...it's so close to everything! Downtown in six minutes, SOCO restaurants and clubs in 5 minutes, etc. Perfect location for us.

Cynthia and Jim were friendly and unobtrusive. We saw them less than once a day for pleasant interchanges.

We would stay there again if we are back in Austin.
