The TajMaSmall was the PERFECT place for my getaway, and Kusko was an ACE host! From my arrival to my departure, I felt welcomed and comfortable, and so lucky to have found this awesome place!

I loved the residential neighborhood because it made for a quiet vacation when I wasn't out in the nearby downtown area. I was especially grateful for the TajMaSmall because Austin got hit with torrential rain and flash flood warnings one of the days I was in town, but the Brentwood neighborhood was safe and the suite was stocked with DVDs (I must have watched 10 episodes each of Will & Grace and Entourage that day), reading materials and board games. Plus the suite was just so nice and clean and comfy (and fantastically designed), I was happy to be rained in there! And Kusko was so gracious to check on me during the crazy storm = ) I was also able to walk to the local H.E.B. supermarket to stock up on some sustenance before the rain, so the mini-refridergator and coffee maker was perfect.

To top my experience off, the local Thunderbird Cafe was 2 blocks away (a recommended spot on the handy, custom-made map the host provided!), and was my go-to spot for coffee, delicious sandwiches, beer, and a very cool interior & staff.

I had a friend come stay on the futon for a couple of nights and she also fell in love with the place right away. Both of us look forward to returning sometime in the future!

I can't say enough great things about the TajMaSmall suite, the neighborhood and proximity to downtown, and the gracious host Kusko! Highly recommend and wish I had a TajMaSmall in my own backyard in Boston!
