The cottage (and impressive garden) was even nicer than expected! It has been beautifully updated with an awesome kitchen and bathroom, the bed was super comfy, and the neighborhood is very nice and safe. The view of downtown is slightly obstructed by the house being built next door, but it is still lovely up there on the hill. And the location was outstanding, just a short walk to 6th street, Amy's Ice Cream, Whole Foods, coffee, shopping, everything you could need! Mark and Jeannie were gracious hosts and left us an amazing gift basket and drinks, which were much appreciated after being on the road. We will definitely be back during our next trip to Austin!
