This property truly is an excellent value. First off, location is convenient to many points. My boyfriend and I were both in town for work in SW Austin, but wanted to maximize our opportunity to see friends who work and live north. It provided a great home base to both head to the office in the morning and to see friends in the evening. Easy, 10 minute or less drives to Monkey Nest Coffee, Korea House off Anderson, and of course was walking distance to Kerbey and Russell's Bakery/Cafe. About the property itself, the private driveway parking just outside the cottage windows meant it was easy to run back and forth to load/unload. The stocked, full-size fridge in the well-equipped kitchen let us enjoy real breakfasts in the room in the morning, and bring home leftovers at night. Wifi was strong and we had multiple machines/devices connected with no issues. While this is definitely an older mother-in-law cottage, it was immaculately clean on our arrival - and I mean down to the baseboards - which I appreciated since I'm a bit of a neat freak. Since we stayed a week we took advantage of the washer/dryer in the garage next door to do laundry on day 5, which was also a plus. As others have mentioned, the only possible dings are the size of the shower, the comfort of the bed, and the A/C/Heater unit. (Details below.) Even with these elements taken into consideration, the property really is a great value and I would definitely return on my own. Andy was an excellent host, greeting us a few times, but never intrusive. I left behind a small makeup mirror and he was kind enough to mail it home to me after I contacted him about it. These details are just in the interest of helping others make an informed decision. As I said, I would stay again in a heartbeat. The shower is small, older and a bit dark. My boyfriend is just over 6ft and while he could fit in the shower space fine, he had to bend to rinse his hair as the shower head hit below the top of his head. There was, however, plenty of hot water at all times. The bed is a futon that is laid flat when you arrive. The listing does state this, but I'm afraid I overlooked it. We made it through our first few nights comfortably, but the stiffness was more noticeable toward the end of our week, especially for my boyfriend who prefers a soft mattress. Lastly, setting the wall unit on low does reduce the noise - and it's white noise the whole time, no rattling or power-up clunks - but it is definitely noticeable. We would turn it off to sleep, and then wake up a few times to turn it on and off to regulate the temperature. (Note: it was actually kind of nice for me because despite being a light sleeper myself, it actually drowned...
