My younger brother and I stayed at Daniel's "Zilker Guesthouse" for a long weekend with the intent of just taking it easy in Austin for a few days and experiencing all of the city's good food and green spaces...this booking really became the underpinning that helped us achieve those lofty goals!

Daniel is an exceptional inn keeper providing many interesting stories and Austin recommendations as well as being a very welcoming and super friendly person. The accommodations were clean and cozy with a great back patio surrounded by a well kept, lush green space to facilitate relaxing, listening to the birds, and enjoying the all important morning cup o' joe within. Any venture into the backyard was greeted by 5 very friendly four-legged residents that loved to get their bellies rubbed and were always happy to offer up some laid-back company.

From this south-central Austin location, it was very quick and easy to take a taxi into downtown, get to Zilker Park or Barton Springs, and drive to most anywhere in Austin quickly. One of my main motivations for spending the weekend in Austin was to experience multiple floats in sensory deprivation tanks at the Zero Gravity Institute, probably the world's top-ranking float spa, and is located only 1 mile south of the Zilker Guesthouse.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Zilker Guesthouse, and I am planning to return upon my next trip to Austin. Thanks Daniel for your hospitality and I look forward my next lodging at the Zilker Guesthouse!
