Mary and the cottage were amazing! Mary was very reachable prior to the trip and quickly answered any questions I had. The location of the cottage is in a very nice neighborhood and perfectly located for any downtown/SoCo Austin outings. A short Uber ride away. Plenty of nearby places to eat within walking distance. I recommend the taco stand with the little old man walking distance away. Little white trailer, possibly the best tacos we had the whole time. You'll know it when you see it. As for the cottage itself, it's beautiful and has a nice backyard and patio to relax in. Mary made us feel right at home with a personal letter with instructions for our entire stay and a few essentials in the fridge to avoid an instant trip to the store upon arrival. Overall, I highly recommend Mary's cottage and I don't think I can find a con to speak of.
