Nora's cottage was such a great place to stay for our 5 days and nights in Austin! Her place was the perfect size for me and my traveling companion, as we each had rooms of our own with comfortable beds, individual A/C units, and all the space we needed. I'm not going to go into all the details, but both of us were wowed by the little things our host clearly put a lot of thought into (e.g., luggage racks, several types of water and snacks, great places to sit in both the private backyard and front porch). If you're planning to spend time eating and drinking in East Austin and Holly, the location is second-to-none. A world-class coffee shop (with an excellent food cart) 2 minutes away, a really nice mezcal cantina with great meat, seafood, and veggie taco options 3 minutes away, and a 5-to-15 minute walk to several other fantastic restaurants (e.g., La Barbecue, Veracruz All Natural, Kemuri Tatsu-ya). Definitely intend to stay here next time I'm in town.
