The Casita on Hether Street has a great location to see the sites in Austin. We were there to ring in the New Year and were in easy walking distance (about 1 mile) to Lady Bird Lake and Zilker Park for the NYE fireworks. (AWESOME show!).
Gisela gave great brunch recommendations, was flexible with our requests and was very friendly. The kitchen was very spacious and the heater in the bathroom was very luxurious after a shower. It was TX winter stormy during our stay, but the tin roof on the porch made listening to the rain a soft lullaby.
