John's guest house was perfect for me and my dog as we stopped through Austin. We walked in and the radio was on quietly and lamps were left on and it felt so welcoming from the rain outside. I couldn't believe how close it was to all the South Congress shops and restaurants which made it perfect for a quick stay. If you want a full kitchen, this isn't the place for you but it had everything I needed. I especially loved browsing the bookshelves and CDs along with all the local guidebooks. Highly recommend!
