We were in Austin to visit our son in late January and early February. The weather was up and down but the cottage was always comfortable. It is located in a charming old neighborhood with massive live oaks. The cottage is quiet and private and has wonderful light and great views of the trees. It is furnished in a contemporary style and is cozy, efficient and very well equipped. The bed is large and very comfortable and the shower is spacious and, like everything else, very modular. The interior of the cottage appears brand new and is sparkling clean. The location was perfect for us - a five minute drive to Zilker Park and a short drive to South Congress. Steve was a perfect host - there to greet us with the heat on and friendly suggestions. He gave us plenty of privacy but was always attentive if we needed anything. A great place for a nice laid-back visit to Austin.
