If you just need a place to sleep while exploring Austin, this is a budget-friendly place that meets your bare minimum. My boyfriend and I didn’t spend much time in the birdhouse other than sleeping and showering so this worked out great.
The shower water was cold, but that wasn’t a dealbreaker considering the price. If you’re on the taller side keep in mind that you won’t be able to use toilet and close the bathroom door. I’m short so I could close the door, but I had to step outside the birdhouse when my boyfriend (6’3”) used it. The area was quiet and the owner recommended some good spots for dining and drinks.
We also appreciated the space heater, which kept us comfortable throughout the night.
