Staying in the Blue Room with our host Blair was one of the best parts of our trip to Austin. This place is a gem in the rough. Blair was accommodating and wonderful. I could spend days looking at all of the art, I felt like I was in a museum. The location is extremely convenient, right downtown. You are very close to all the Austin has to offer, while being on a quiet, tree-lined street in a safe, very nice neighborhood. Highly recommend staying at the Blue Room Downtown Mansion.
