Backyard cottage is tiny - workable for maybe two people max, but just fine for me traveling alone. I really appreciated the privacy. I generally travel by motorcycle, so I was very grateful to Alex & Kristal for allowing me to park inside the backyard gate. Bed was very comfortable. I was attending a conference on campus and later had a meeting downtown, and this location was within a 10-minute trip to both. Overall, fantastic value! Will definitely seek them out on my next trip to Austin.
