What a great location! We walked to Rainey Street and the South Congress districts, among other places. Quick Uber rides to other areas...really liked this feature as we did not rent a car. Mariah goes above and beyond to make sure you have a great experience by managing the lighting and waterfall every afternoon and evening. The oatmeal, coffee, and tea as well as the ice maker were such nice conveniences. So many amazing vignettes everywhere we looked in the private backyard....we enjoyed it all. The tropical beach theme is carried out so thoroughly; even the bathroom floor tile evoked sand/pebbles, and the shower tile reminded us of sea glass, and coconut scented shower supplies were provided! Plenty of bath and beach towels, cups, etc. Mariah provided the current week's guide to the city as soon as we arrived to help us with our plans and had a snack waiting for us. Great host! It's a tight space--you have to stay organized with your belongings--but Mariah has created little niches, shelves, fold out table, etc, so it works. Don't be discouraged when you first pull up; the street view is not indicative of the interior space and back yard. We recommend the kayak/bat watch experience with Aaron and also the gospel brunch at Stubb's while in Austin.
