Angela and Ian's cottage was absolutely breathtaking! The historic, comfortable interior combined with the stylish and secluded patio (with a fountain, mind you) served as the PERFECT vacation getaway. (And that bed was SO COMFORTABLE. It made starting the day quite difficult, haha).
One of THE BEST things the cottage itself offers (comfortable bed, cleanliness, and aesthetic a given), is proximity. A mere several blocks and you're near South Congress, a must-see on a trip to Austin with restaurants, bars, and shops galore. Despite its convenient location, Angela and Ian's cottage feels so far removed from it all. Peaceful doesn't even begin to describe it!
As hosts, we could not have been happier staying with Angela and Ian. The week my girlfriend and I stayed with them, Austin saw TERRIBLE thunderstorms and flooding, above which actually compromised the hot water heater in the cottage. I messaged Angela about the lack of warm water and received a response instantaneously-- this was at 12:30am. Within an hour that SAME morning (or night, depending on how full your glass is), we had warm water again, as she went out to investigate and fix the problem. I reiterate: we could not have been happier staying with Angela and Ian. Thank you so much for the amazing stay and for being fantastic hosts! We'd love to return in the future, if you'll have us!
