This adorable cottage is in such a great location in the South Congress area. So many shops and restaurants are in walking distance, as are spots to rent a bike or car - you don't even need to get in a car for the duration of your stay!
The cottage itself has a couple of great little outdoor sitting areas that we enjoyed. The linens provided are soft; the window AC units are efficient; the water in the showers is hot. I had to be a little creative using hot tools to style my hair as there are no plugs in the bathrooms, but there are enough mirrors and other plugs throughout the cottage that it was do-able with a little thought! The snacks and drinks provided when we arrived were thoughtful and delicious. The neighbor's chickens made it up the creek one day to visit, and a sweet orange cat greeted us on the porch a couple of times. :)
Matt was a thoughtful and friendly host! We met for just a moment but he is definitely concerned about his guests' comfort. He is easily reachable if you have a question and we communicated throughout our stay. We will definitely stay in the cottage again the next time we are in Austin!
