John has set the bar for all of my future AirBnB experiences. The cottage was quiet, cosy and thoughtfully appointed: everything you'd need, plus a little extra (the pantry was stocked with fresh local bagels, cream cheese, OJ, chips and local salsa, coffee, tea and all.) Tidy and cheerful, it's the perfect refuge to recharge after a full-power day in Austin. He's a wonderful host, a kindred spirit easy to talk to yet respectful of privacy. The hip, residential neighborhood has just the right amount and variety of eat-and-drinkeries within walking distance, and John offered loaner bikes to explore the city via the riverside bike path right near the house. Just make sure not to book it during my return visit next year.
