Tiny House is located about 2 miles from Austin Convention Center (a $5 Uber/Lyft ride) in a really nice part of town with lots of restaurants, upscale shops, and a giant Whole Foods. It really IS tiny, but has all the essentials: bathroom, closet, couch, TV, bed, outlets, wifi (not the fastest but fine for email or Twitter), heater, AC. The bathroom was stocked with towels and soap, fresh sheets on the bed, everything was spotless.

Getting in and out of bed can be a bit tricky, I’ll be honest - you have to turn off the lights by the kitchen, then climb up in the dark using a ladder illuminated by a tiny LED lantern. Sleeping in the loft felt a bit like a Japanese capsule hotel. But it worked out fine and I consider myself very lucky to have booked the Tiny House.

Brad was very quick to respond to my reservation inquiry and the transaction was a breeze. My hosts made themselves readily available and were very friendly the entire length of my stay. Upon arrival, I was greeted with delicious cranberry orange scones and a tiny bottle of prosecco. They left a list of all their favorite places to shop and eat nearby, which was really handy. All in all, a great place to crash during SXSW and I would stay here again if traveling to Austin by myself.
