Quaint and charming meets modern. Tootie's place is a small older home, typical of an older South Austin era, which has been lovingly restored. It's furnished with delightful vintage furniture, yet has modern kitchen appliances, bathroom, TV, AC, WiFi, etc. The home was spotless and well-cared for; check-in and communication were easy; the hosts were friendly and helpful. "Old Austin" is rapidly (and sadly) being replaced by condo and apartment developments and modern mini-mansions. Tootie's retains the old Austin feel while being thoroughly up to date. Our stay was delightful.
The home is close to Zilker Park and Barton Springs, great restaurants, interesting shopping and provided easy access to everything we wanted to do in Austin. A small bakery and a small market with a decent wine selection are 2 blocks away. Maria's Taco Express, a funky place with the best breakfast tacos in Texas, is 5 mins away.
We plan to stay here whenever we're in Austin!
