My wife and I found the cottage to a be a great base for the 3 nights we were in Austin. The cottage is perfect for someone who is looking to feel more like a local than a visitor a hotel as it has so much charm and it is in a great neighborhood. We found ourselves walking several times to local places in the SoCo district (shopping, eats, drinks, music) which was great not having to deal with parking and yet it was just a short drive to a host of other great locations to visit within Austin.
We would love to rent again next time we are back in Austin!
