I LOVED staying at Historic Harthan. The vibes were fantastic, it was perfectly clean, and it held so much charm while still having modern amenities (fridge, dishwasher, etc.). The beds were very comfortable and the bathroom was enormous with a great soaking tub.
I was very happy to take advantage of the option to drop my bag off in the laundry room as I arrived in Austin about four hours before my check-in time. Thanks to Chet's comprehensive neighborhood recommendations, I was able to post- up at Better Half coffee and bar for the afternoon.
Perhaps the most wonderful part of this stay was that it is located at a fantastic jumping off point. My colleague and I were in town for a conference and enjoyed a lovely walk along the river each morning on the way to the long center and ate at a ton of great restaurants within walking distance.
I cannot recommend this stay highly enough and am already looking for a reason to return with some close friends for Austin and this welcoming place to stay.
