Edward's guesthouse seemed much bigger than its 225 square feet. It was roomy enough for a couple to spend a long weekend without ever feeling cramped.
One nice thing we noticed was that all the fixtures were top-notch: bed, linens, fixtures, appliances, even the pots and pans. There is also a compact washer-dryer-in-one, which was a godsend: in the morning you just throw in dirty clothes and a little detergent, set a few dials, then go out for the day. When you come back you have clean, dry clothes--no need to switch loads.
The kitchen allowed us to cook breakfast every morning and dinner on two nights. But if you want to go out then Opal Divine's is just up the hill, with great food, an excellent bar, and the one of the best scotch selections in Austin. Other dining and drinking opportunities abound within a 15-minute walk, and it is even closer to bus stops on multiple line. The neighborhood of the guesthouse is quiet and leafy. with good well-lit sidewalks.
We recommend it and hope to be back soon!
