Working with Jen on my trip was very easy from the beginning. She was quick to return my emails and anticipated many of my questions. Those questions unique to my visit were handled in a timely and very satisfactory manner. All subsequent contact was via email and text, and it worked quite well. Again, she is an attentive and concerned host.

The cottage sits back a little from the street and offers a fairly secluded experience. Although I had read others' reviews touting the serenity of the gardens in evenings, I was so busy seeing and experiencing Austin that I did not spend any time on the porch.

Jen had said that Austin is a bike-able city, and she provided the bike! I toured the city and explored nearly all I wanted to see via bicycle. My conference was at the convention center, an easy ten to fifteen minute walk from the cottage. For those who Uber, Austin can get pretty jammed with traffic and my Uber drivers were very good at by-passing the jams and getting me to my destinations.

Her place is clean, convenient to some of the best attractions (and BBQ!) Austin has to offer. I highly recommend the cottage for anyone traveling solo or with one other.
