My husband and I stayed at Veronica's so I could run the Austin Marathon and visit local family. The location is ideal with downtown and the S. Congress and 1st Street commercial districts within 1 mile. It also epitomizes the Keep Austin Weird sentiment. The photos may need to be updated: the stairs have been converted into a spiral staircase that is somewhat narrow and steep so if you have any mobility issues this might be a tough place to stay. I also wouldn't recommend it for more than people than a couple. The listing says 3 beds but the two couches downstairs would probably only work for kids.
