Cool Groove Guesthouse is an excellent respite in Austin. My wife, I and our dog just spent almost a month here and can highly recommend. Easy access can be found to the Southern Walnut Trail ( no need to drive here), Mueller neighborhood (great park and walking), all the up and coming breweries and restaurants in East Austin, Birdies (a CIA chef resides here) and 183 will get you to North Lamar or South Austin in no time. MLK takes you right downtown. The Guesthouse has been tastefully updated and is extremely quiet and the neighborhood is relaxed and very safe. Beautiful sunrises greet you in the kitchen every morning and the entire place is well outfitted for a long stay and has a very comfortable bed and nice bath and shower. The resident dogs are friendly and curious and got along well with ours. Don't hesitate to stay here or you will miss out.
