Cozy, well appointed space very close to SoCo, First St and downtown. Cottage is exactly as described with all the comforts of home. The immediate area is residential, quiet, safe and walkable. We borrowed bikes to trek around town, down to the river and day trips to 6th street. If it had not been so warm I would have walked to town ( and further) as most of my favorite places are roughly a mile and a half away. Just a short ride to Magnolia Cafe, one of my favorites to get breakfast all night. They never close! For NY style pizza there is Home Slice with dine in, take out and a late night (open til 3 am) window to get slices. Ride bikes or drive out to Barton Springs for a swim, to the Continental Club in SoCo for some live music or just the wonderful hilly roads in the neighborhoods (my faves are on the east side of Congress). If you’re an urban hiker like myself take a day trip into downtown. It’s a great walk. As a host, Dawn is spectacular. She was very helpful, very pleasant and we experienced communication response time with no delay. We have found our home away from home here at the cottage.
