Brad is an excellent host, and this is a fantastic, walkable neighborhood. Brad went out of his way to give us great advice, and as a result we had a spectacular visit to Austin. And the bikes make it all the more fun and convenient. It is easy to bike to downtown or Zilker park, just minutes, and quite easy.

The house is small, no question about that, but it's as big or bigger than hotel rooms that cost 3x as much and don't come with a great guide and bikes!

Brad's family, who live in the house in front of the tiny house and share the deck, was very friendly, but they were careful to give us all the space we wanted.

Every morning we walked to La Medici coffee shop, which has excellent breakfast tacos and good espresso in a friendly atmosphere. We walked to dinner at Josephine's House, which was excellent. Both of those are within 5 minutes on foot. I even walked back to the house from the Austin Convention Center, which was a nice long 40-minute walk, certainly doable. When we didn't feel like walking, an Uber driver picked us up within 3-4 minutes. In short, you really can't beat this location, especially at this price.

When we were there, it was really too hot to sleep in the loft area; the AC unit just wasn't powerful enough to reach up there. We told Brad about that, and I believe he has plans to address that situation. Probably just a fan would do the trick. The two fold-out beds in the living area were easy to operate and more than adequate, and the AC cooled that area just fine.
